Big Data with Hadoop and Spark

Cost: $2,990
Duration: 6 weeks
Locations: NYC
In-person Only
Course Description:

Overview
This is a 6-week evening program providing a hands-on introduction to the Hadoop and Spark ecosystem of Big Data technologies. The course will cover these key components of Apache Hadoop: HDFS, MapReduce with streaming, Hive, and Spark. Programming will be done in Python. The course will begin with a review of Python concepts needed for our examples. The course format is interactive. Students will need to bring laptops to class. We will do our work on AWS (Amazon Web Services); instructions will be provided ahead of time on how to connect to AWS and obtain an account.

What is Hadoop?
Hadoop is a set of open-source programs running in computer clusters that simplify the handling of large amounts of data. Originally, Hadoop consisted of a distributed file system tuned for large data sets and an implementation of the MapReduce parallelism paradigm, but has expanded in many ways. It now includes database systems, languages for parallelism, libraries for machine learning, its own job scheduler, and much more. Furthermore, MapReduce is no longer the only parallelism framework; Spark is an increasingly popular alternative. In summary, Hadoop is a very popular and rapidly growing set of cluster computing solutions, which is becoming an essential tool for data scientists.

Cost: $1,590
Duration: 5 weeks
Locations: NYC
In-person Only
Course Description:

Overview
This class is a comprehensive introduction to data analysis with the Python programming language. This class targets people who have some basic knowledge of programming and want to take it to the next level. It introduces how to work with different data structures in Python and covers the most popular data analytics and visualization modules, including numpy, scipy, pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn. We use Ipython notebook to demonstrate the results of codes and change codes interactively throughout the class.

Syllabus
Unit 1: Introduction to Python
Python is a high-level programming language. You will learn the basic syntax and data structures in Python. We demonstrate and run codes within Ipython notebook, which is a great tool providing a robust and productive environment for interactive and exploratory computing.

Unit 2: Explore Deeper with Python
Python is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language. Having some basic knowledge of OOP will help you understand how Python codes work. More often than not, you will have to deal with data that is dirty and unstructured. You will learn many ways to clean your data such as applying regular expressions.
Introduction to object-oriented programming
How to deal with files

Unit 3: Scientific Computation Tools
There are two modules for scientific computation that make Python powerful for data analysis: Numpy and Scipy. Numpy is the fundamental package for scientific computing in Python. SciPy is an expanding collection of packages addressing scientific computing.
Numpy
Scipy

Unit 4: Data Visualization
Python can also generate graphics easily using “Matplotlib” and “Seaborn”. Matplotlib is the most popular Python library for producing plots and other 2D data visualizations. Seaborn is a Python visualization library based on matplotlib. It provides a high-level interface for drawing statistical graphics.

Overall Experience:Curriculum:
Instructors:Job Assistance:
I have a biomedical engineering background, and I enjoy solving complex problems using quantitative methods. I had decided to venture into the field of data science and machine learning because I realized that there are many processes that are insufficiently modeled in a deterministic way. When I graduated with a Master's degree in Data Science, I had acquired many tools and methods in disciplines such as computer science and applied math; however, I was lacking some experience actually "doing" data science, especially in working with real-life data. NYCDSA gave me the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience in the model building process. I also had a great time collaborating with other fellows, instructors, and mentors on challenging projects, which further expanded my skill set in proper data collection, data retrieval, and data visualization. Overall, NYCDSA fosters an enriching and inclusive environment for students of all different backgrounds to gain valuable experience that's needed for a data-driven career.

Regarding the job prospects post Bootcamp, I find it challenging in finding a suitable position in this ever-changing career field coupled with the tough economic situation. However, I do think that NYCDSA is a great guide in pointing me in the right direction by providing the appropriate resources. After graduation, a couple of recruiters reached out to me, and I was able to pass rounds of interviews with the knowledge I gathered from the projects I did in the boot camp. Ultimately, I'm able to receive a full-time data scientist position offer about three months post-graduation.

"Exceeds Expectations"

NYC Data Science Academy’s program covers more material than any other leading bootcamp. Curriculum is created with long-term professional development in mind, while at the same time being incredibly “up-to-date” with all the latest developments in the... Read More

In addition to the core of the program, NYC Data Science Academy also offers practical and extensive preparatory material (already included in the price of the bootcamp). Thanks to these materials students are capable of building a strong foundational knowledge of the core material, and as a result, have a much easier time during the program.

One of the greatest advantages of the NYC Data Science Academy’s bootcamp is the group of extraordinarily supportive teaching assistants. Since 100% of teaching assistants are former bootcamp students, they possess a unique understanding of anything that current students are going through at any given moment.

Another pivotal part of the program is its amazing collective of instructors, most of whom possess advanced degrees and multiple years of industry experience. No other place creates such a remarkable mix of academic and industry knowledge that allows students to not only learn how to code but to understand the underlying principles of the scientific and business processes.

Last but not least, is the selection of projects that students have a chance to complete during the bootcamp. These projects not only allow students to apply newly-learned coding techniques but also push them to solve “real-life” problems and to create industry-specific practical solutions. Bootcamp has a healthy mix of individual and group projects, which gives students a chance to work with different kinds of dynamics, and most importantly to learn from fellow students.

Overall, the unique selection of material, amazing teaching and supporting staff, along with the ability to be among a diverse group of people with all sorts of professional backgrounds is what distinguishes NYC Data Science Academy from the rest.
