 Welcome to type form and introduction. I'm Barton Polson. And in this course, we're going to talk about one of the fundamental issues of data and data science. And that is actually getting data. Think about it this way, you're going to do a project, do you need data far and away? The best way to do this is just ask. And type form is an online application that makes that really simple. Type form is an online application that makes it really easy to construct attractive and inviting and human oriented surveys and other forms for getting data from people out there in the real world. There's a free version of type form, their paid versions. In this course, we're going to look at the functionality in the free version that allows anybody to get started gathering data from the people they're interested in better understanding. We'll look at how to construct questionnaires in type form. We'll look at some of the ways that you can design them to make them more interesting and attractive. We'll talk about the ways that you can configure these to make them more integrated and more functional. We'll talk about the ways that you can share them to get your questionnaires out there and to get the data back from people. And we'll talk about some of the ways that you can monitor the performance of your type form, download the data and start analyzing to get insight. And so thanks for joining me for type form and introduction. I'm excited to be here and I'm excited to help you get started.
