Course Summary

2019 is a great year to learn data science. There has been an enormous growth in data science-related jobs to match the equally relentless pace of growth in big data adoption. Dresner Advisory Services’ Market Study 2017 survey shows a year by year increase in big adoption just north of 50 percent and Glassdoor puts Data Scientist at the top of the list of 50 best jobs in America at the end of 2018.

In this session, in-house course producer Samuel will bring to the stage his wealth of experience in building data science teams and cultivating excellence. This includes the tools and infrastructure, applied processes, learning management and accompanying technology for analytical teams. From his time staying in China and Japan as a consultant to his role as developer-trainer in the last 2 years, we will learn about his own journey, and what challenges lie ahead of budding data scientists.

Kickstart Series

Workshops in our Kickstart series are tailored to casual programmers and non-programmers that are taking their first steps into data science. It assumes no prior knowledge or academic background, and attendees will be introduced to the beautiful art of writing R / Python code to produce data visualization and build machine learning models.

Students are encouraged to bring along their laptop and download the course materials beforehand if they wish to follow along with the Code Along exercises. The workshop has a gentle learning slope that is designed with non-technical professionals and academics in mind.
