About the course

Data science is a key part of the world of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). You may have heard it described as the “sexiest job of the twenty-first century”. There’s a soaring demand for data scientists, and the role involves a wide variety of skills. However, the day-to-day job of a data scientist can be a mystery.

In this collection of tutorials, we’ll take a look at the field of data science, how you can use data science skills in your own day-to-day work, how to best learn key data science skills, and provide an introduction to using Python and R for data science. This collection contains:

  • Data Science for Everyone by Mona Khalil
  • Python for Data Science: an Introduction to Pandas by Claudio Ribeiro
  • Introduction to R and RStudio by Bruno Skvorc
  • How to Import Data and Export Results in R by Shaumik Daityari
  • Exploratory Data Analytics in Python: Car Imports into the US by Shaumik Daityari

Bruno, a web developer from Croatia, is SitePoint's senior PHP editor by day, and a developer evangelist for Diffbot.com by night. A big fan of working on treadmill desks, he spends the most of his days walking through various projects and problems, and then exposing them on SitePoint.com. In his free time (i.e. when his beagle is asleep) he swims, #stronglifts, plays (board) games and paints miniatures.
