Intro to Contour: big data analytics in Foundry

Contour is a powerful analytical application in Foundry. It gives you an efficient point-and-click way of transforming and visualizing large scale datasets. You don’t need to think about managing compute resources, and you don’t need to circumvent data security rules in order to create and share analyses — all the important background stuff is handled by Foundry’s core infrastructure.

However, Contour is sufficiently different from other analytical tools that it can be tricky to learn on your own. I’ve created a Contour 101 video for anyone looking to get started with Contour. It’s a friendly way of going from a blank slate to your first analytical product in under an hour.
