Julia for Data Science

About Julia for Data Science

Duration: 2 hours and 41 minutes
Julia is an easy, fast, open source language that if written well performs nearly as well as
low-level languages such as C and FORTRAN. Its design is a dance between specialization
and abstraction, providing high machine performance without the sacrifice of human
convenience. Julia is a fresh approach to technical computing, combining expertise from
diverse fields of computational and computer science.
This video course walks you through all the steps involved in applying the Julia ecosystem
to your own data science projects. We start with the basics and show you how to design
and implement some of the general purpose features of Julia. Is fast development and fast
execution possible at the same time? Julia provides the best of both worlds with its wide
range of types, and our course covers this in depth. You will have organized and readable
code by the end of the course by learning how to write Lisp style macros and modules.
The course demonstrates the power of the DataFrames package to manage, organize, and
analyze data. It enables you to work with data from various sources, perform statistical
calculations on them, and visualize their relationships in different kinds of plots through
live demonstrations.
Julia for Data Science takes you from zero to hero, leaving you with the know-how required
to apply

Who should join this course?

Anyone aspring a great career in Data Science involving complex data analytics and data
mining techniques would find this course a must to pursue. Professionals working on Data
Mining Projects can also pursue this course to help them gain an extra edge over complex
data mining algorithms development using Julia.
