Data Science with Python

What is Data Science

The profession of Data Scientist is considered as the sexiest job of the 21st century. The reason behind this is data. Today, tons of data is generated every day. Many companies collect this data and sell it to ad agencies so that they can use it to make their website more user friendly and earn crazy profits. In Minneapolis, MN, companies like Amazon Web Services, Enable Data, US Bank, General Mills, Accenture, Blue Buffalo, Cargill, Rich Products Corporation, etc, are eagerly looking for data scientists to join their team. These companies have started to understand the importance of decision making based on the analysis of data. Currently, tons of data is generated every single day. This data can be used to help the organization make important marketing decisions. There are not enough qualified and experienced data scientists. This allows Data Scientists who are skilled to make a handsome salary.

If you want to become a data scientist, you would need to become an expert in some skills. You can gain the knowledge to do so by getting a degree. In Minneapolis, universities like The University of Minnesota, Saint Paul College are offering a Master’s program in Data Science. Here are the 8 top technical skills required to become a Data Scientist:

  1. Python Coding: Learning Python is very important to become a data scientist. Most of the data science projects use python due to the versatility and simplicity it offers. It allows creating and performing dataset operations.
  2. R Programming: You have to have an in-depth knowledge of an analytical tool to become a top-notch data scientist. R programming makes solving statistical problems easy.
  3. Hadoop Platform: This framework is used in many data science projects. So, it would be beneficial for you if you have a complete understanding of the Hadoop platform.
