Help us Stock the Shoppe at the SMCKC December 4 breakfast
It's not too late to get tickets for the Friday, December 4 SMCKC breakfast. We're asking if attendees will help us support the Eric Berry Foundation and Think Big Coworking Stock the Shoppe Toy Drive at Children's Mercy. This year, they're hoping to collect 1,600 new toys/gifts, 400 books and 300 stuffed animals for children ages newborn to 21 years old.
Not sure what to donate? Take a peek at the most-needed items on their wish list. We will have containers at the breakfast to collect items. Hope to see you there!

This is a group for people interested in bioinformatic applications, either as researcher or a programmer. The Kansas City area has a large concentration of biotechnology companies and institutions doing amazing and diverse work. I'm hoping this group will give people a chance to meet others in this field. We'll meet once a month after work for a happy hour to see how everyone is doing and to discuss projects, interests, or whatever. I want to help grow the bioinformatic community in KC, and I think a little face-to-face time would do us all wonders.
KC SQL Server User Group - Overcoming Chartaphobia
Thursday, November 19, 2015 from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Presenter: Meagan Longoria Topic: Overcoming Chartaphobia: Moving Your Organization Toward Interesting and Enlightening Data Visualization Do your organization’s reports consist mostly of giant tables of data? Perhaps you’ve gotten as far as adding KPI indicators to the tables. Although tables of data presented as reports are commonly found in many organizations, they might be doing you and your users a disservice. You should optimize your data visualization just as you optimize your databases. Reports are a user interface that must be purposefully designed to help users achieve their goal of making informed decisions. In this session we’ll review some data visualization best practices and apply those concepts to the use of Microsoft reporting tools such as Excel, Power View, and SQL Server Reporting Services. You’ll leave with guidance on how to take boring, unreadable tables of data and turn them into useful and visually appealing reports. | ||
