An introduction to Python, Data Science and Big Data, plus a deep introduction to the major Big Data technologies for the practitioners working with them.

This 5-day course is ideal for people who are currently working as software engineers with data, or in business intelligence, looking for a level-up to the next stage of large data analysis skills and contemporary patterns of Data Science.

You will learn how to work and model large sets of data and understand the statistical mathematical models behind it. You'll also work with SQL and NoSQL trends and understand how to create an effective hypothesis-approach way of working with data and discerning really measurable statistical outcomes.

Target Audience

Practitioners of data analysis and fledging data scientists who wish to leverage Big Data technologies such as NoSQL databases, Hadoop and Spark.

Basic knowledge of data base architecture and SQL
Basic knowledge in programming: variables, flow and scope and functions
Prior experience of working with data
Experience with Python or other scripting languages such as Perl will be an advantage

At the end of this course attendees will know:

Fundamentals of Data Science
Fundamentals of Machine Learning
