Using NextJournal for World Cup Data Analysis

I have a couple of contacts working on the new-and-improved version of NextJournal.

I tried it out about a year ago when they first launched, and thought it was pretty cool, but never got a real project going.

So when I got an email about their re-launch, I decided to actually put some time into learning how it works.

So far I’ve published two articles of data analysis and visualization with World Cup historical data. Here are links to check it out:

Full disclosure: I was paid for some of the time spent working on these NextJournal articles, but I was not asked to write this blog post, nor to express any opinions, positive or negative.
