Taming Big-Data and Data Plumbing with Python

ROSHAN ZAMEER (~roshan77)


Description:

Data science, analytics, machine learning, big data… All familiar terms in today’s tech headlines, but they can seem daunting, opaque or just simply impossible. Despite their gleam, they are real fields and you can master them! We’ll dive into what Big-data consists of and how we can use Python to solve this problem for us.

We will discuss the following points.

  1. When does 'Data' qualify to be 'Big-Data'.
  2. How handling Data is different from handling 'Big-Data'.
  3. Problems of Big-Data.
  4. How Python and other frameworks help in tackling the problems.
  5. Dive into a real-world problem and perform a hands-on.

Let’s build a pipeline to tackle a real-world challenge together.
