Hi In June, we had workshop on Machine learning [0], it was very well received. Instructors felt doing an introductory workshop will help the ecosystem, having that in mind we have introduction to data analysis workshop on next saturday [1]. It is focussed for beginners to the field of data science.
*Agenda:* Understanding data and deriving insights from it is the core of Data Science. In this workshop, we will be going many of the following: 1) What is data analysis? 2) How to acquire data? 3) How to refine data? 4) How to explore the refined data? 5) How to build models on the data? 6) How to turn data and analysis into insight ? Data & Requirements are posted on to the repo [1]: Please install them prior to the workshop. *Instructors:* *Amit Kapoor and Bargava Subramanian* You can find more details in meetup page [1]. We have books sponsored by various people. Recently o'reilly sponsored three books Python for Finance, Python for Data Analysis, Data Science from scratch [2], you can grab these for study during meetup and return in next meetup. More details can be found here [3] If you want to get started with Data Science, this is the perfect chance ! *Time*: 10.00 AM to 4.00 PM *Venue*: Akamai Technologies, Bellandhur. *Contact*: Kracekumar - 85530 29521 [0]: http://bangalore.python.org.in/blog/2015/06/20/june-workshop-report/ [1]: http://www.meetup.com/BangPypers/events/210041222/ [2]: https://github.com/amitkaps/weed [3]: http://bangalore.python.org.in/library.html -- *Thanks & Regardskracekumar"Talk is cheap, show me the code" -- Linus Torvaldshttp://kracekumar.com <http://kracekumar.com>* _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
