The Foundational Hands-On Skills You Need to Dive into Data Science
“Freeman and Ross have created the definitive resource for new and
aspiring data scientists to learn foundational programming skills.”
–From the foreword by Jared Lander, series editor Using data science
techniques, you can transform raw data into actionable insights for
domains ranging from urban planning to precision medicine. Programming
Skills for Data Science brings together all the foundational skills
you need to get started, even if you have no programming or data
science experience. Leading instructors Michael Freeman and Joel
Ross guide you through installing and configuring the tools you need
to solve professional-level data science problems, including the
widely used R language and Git version-control system. They explain
how to wrangle your data into a form where it can be easily used,
analyzed, and visualized so others can see the patterns you’ve
uncovered. Step by step, you’ll master powerful R programming
techniques and troubleshooting skills for probing data in new ways,
and at larger scales. Freeman and Ross teach through practical
examples and exercises that can be combined into complete data science
projects. Everything’s focused on real-world application, so you can
quickly start analyzing your own data and getting answers you can act
upon. Learn to Install your complete data science environment,
including R and RStudio Manage projects efficiently, from version
tracking to documentation Host, manage, and collaborate on data
science projects with GitHub Master R language fundamentals: syntax,
programming concepts, and data structures Load, format, explore, and
restructure data for successful analysis Interact with databases and
web APIs Master key principles for visualizing data accurately and
intuitively Produce engaging, interactive visualizations with ggplot
and other R packages Transform analyses into sharable documents and
sites with R Markdown Create interactive web data science applications
with Shiny Collaborate smoothly as part of a data science team
