Essential Node.js

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

This course introduces Node.js to the experienced developer who wants more control, higher performance, effective security, and cross-platform support. You will learn how Node.js is built from a small but powerful core and how these low-level constructs can be used together to build complete, modern Web applications. You will learn how to use Express and Passport frameworks to build secure Web servers. Learn multiple ways of structuring large code bases and automating the development and operations tasks so that maintenance and deployments are as repeatable and consistent as possible.

This course uses MongoDB, Mongoose ODM(Object Document Mapper), and Mocha unit testing framework.

Note: You are required to bring your own laptop.

Introduction to R for Data Scientists

R is a functional programming environment for business analysts and data scientists. It’s a language that many non-programmers can easily work with, naturally extending a skill set that is common to high-end Excel users. It’s the perfect tool for when the analyst has a statistical, numerical, or probabilities-based problem based on real data and they’ve pushed Excel past its limits.

Geared for data scientists or engineers with potentially lighttechnical background or experience, R for Data Scientists is a hands-on R course that explores common scenarios that are encountered in analysis, and presents practical solutions to those challenges. Throughout the course, special attention is paid to data science theory including AI grouping theory. A discussion of using R with AI libraries like Madlib is also included. Students who want additional topics and extended hands-on exposure might consider the 5-day extended version of this course, Mastering R for Data Scientists.
