Can you recommend a book or project idea for building intuition on messy data? When it comes up in my hobby projects I compromise on the fly, and a professional approach would be much better.

I have heard good things about the "Bad Data Handbook", though I can't vouch for it personally. Recommended by a co-worker I will get to read it eventually

Thanks, it's even focused on web data. Just got it for Kindle.

Some nice irony too: There's a typo in Jonathan Schwabish's bio with visualizaing.org instead of visualizing.org
