Read & Listen
Many of our top blogs last month were about new features—in the product and in Community. App Builder made a big splash on the Engine Works blog, and the top Analytics blog of the month was about new cloud platform features. Our most-viewed Alter.Nation blog announced new digital learning and certification for Auto Insights on the Maveryx Community.
For some fun how-tos, check out this detailed blog on web scraping in Alteryx by @le_luu, and this creative blog on creating a crossword puzzle in Alteryx by @JamesCharnley. As a reminder, if you would like to write a blog for the Maveryx community, you can learn about the submission guidelines and process here.
We had ACE @Ken_Black on the podcast to talk about his work with climate change data in Alteryx. Give this interesting and timely discussion a listen below:
