Start of my Data Science Journey!


I was recently introduced with the field of data science. I believe that data science will boost every industry’s growth and therefore plays an important role in today’s technology-driven world. As soon as understood what data science is, I decided I wanted to be a part of this field.

DATA SCIENTIST are big data wranglers, gathering and analyzing large sets of structured and unstructured data. They analyze, process and model data then interpret the results to make actionable plan for and other organization

As global unstructured data will be 80% by 2025 by the projections of IDC(International Data Corporation), jobs like data scientist are really in need and quite valued.

The reason for being interested in this field is simple: The amount of changes remaining unstructured data can do to this world is unimaginable. I want to a part of this “big wave of data science” and watch it hit the shores of the industries.

I have started a course from Coursesa “Data Science Specialization” by Johns Hopkins University. Hope you will be with me in this journey. Any suggestions or advice blog will me greatly aprreciated. Thank you for reading.

Python or R for data science?

The First Concept on a journey to become usually starts with programming language. It’s not compulsory to learn programming first, but it’s more preferable. Ken Jee , a data scientist specializing in data analytics wrote in one of his article on how he would learn data science if he could start over. In that article he preferred to programming first.Two Of the Best Programming languages for data science are : R and Python. R is preferred in data science because statistics is an important and heavy part of data science and R provides extensive support for statistics. It also have a ability to interface with NoSQL databases and analyze unstructured data. R provides important packages for data wrangling (like dplyr, purrr, readxl,etc) and data visualization tools (like ggplot2,scatterplot3D,etc.) Python in data science is preferred because of the scalability and flexibility to have multiple approaches for a single problem. It is also easy to learn and has a ton of data science libra...
