-
What background do I need for this Introduction to Big Data?
Working knowledge of the Microsoft Windows platform and basic database concepts.
Typical job roles include: Project and IT Managers, Database Administrators & Data Architects, Developers & SQL Developers, Data Scientists & Business Intelligence.
-
Where does Big Data fit in my data science training?
Data science is about obtaining insights from data using methods from several disciplines like statistics, linear algebra, differential equations, machine learning, etc. Many of the activities in data science involve large amounts of data, especially for training models. Some will use data that cannot be efficiently stored in a relational fashion; unstructured data. Often data needs to be processed and conclusions reached extremely quickly. These requirements for large volume, variety and velocity create an overlap between big data, how to store, secure, manage and access the data, and data science, how best to utilize the data in order to draw conclusions and gain insights from it.
-
Is the on-demand content the same as the 3-day instructor class?
No. While the content selected does map to the objectives of the instructor-led course, it does not include a recorded version of the instructor-led class. The objectives have been re-imagined to be presented in digital, self-guided formats. -
