R is considered as lingua franca of Data Science. Candidates with
expertise in R programming language are in exceedingly high demand and
paid lucratively in Data Science. IEEE has repeatedly ranked R as one of
the top and most popular Programming Languages. Almost every Data
Science and Machine Learning job posted globally mentions the
requirement for R language proficiency. All the top ranked universities
like MIT have included R in their respective Data Science courses
curriculum.
With its growing community of users in Open Source space, R allows
you to productively work on complex Data Analysis and Data Science
projects to acquire, transform/cleanse, analyse, model and visualise
data to support informed decision making. But there's one catch: R has
quite a steep learning curve!
How's this course different from so many other courses?
Many of the available training courses on R programming don't
cover it its entirety. To be proficient in R for Data Science requires
thorough understanding of R programming constructs, data structures and
none of the available courses cover them with the comprehensiveness and
depth that each topic deserves. Many courses dive straight into Machine
Learning algorithms and advanced stuff without thoroughly comprehending
the R programming constructs. Such approaches to teach R have a lot of
drawbacks and that's where many Data Scientists struggle with in their
professional careers.
Also, the real value in learning R lies in learning from
professionals who are experienced, proficient and are still working in
Industry on huge projects; a trait which is missing in 90% of the
training courses available all around.
This is what makes this course stand-out from the rest. This course
has been designed to address these and many other fallacies and uniquely
teaches R in a way that you won't find anywhere else. Taught by me, an
experienced Data Scientist currently working in Deloitte (World's
largest consultancy firm) in Australia and has worked on a number of
Data Science projects in multiple niches like Retail, Web,
Telecommunication and web-sector. I have over 5 years of diverse
experience of working in my own start-ups (related to Data Science and
Networking), BPO and digital media consultancy firms, and in academia's
Data Science Research Labs. Its a rare combination of exposure that you
will hardly find in any other instructor. You will be leveraging my
valuable experience to learn and specialize R.
What you're going to learn in this course?
The course will start from the very basics of introducing Data
Science, importance of R and then will gradually build your concepts. In
the first segment, we'll start from setting up R development
environment, R Data types, Data Structures (the building blocks of
R scripts), Control Structures and Functions.
The second segment comprises of applying your learned skills on
developing industry-grade Data Science Application. You will be
introduced to the mind-set and thought-process of working on Data
Science Projects and Application development. The project will then
focus on developing automated and robust Web Scraping bot in R. You will
get the amazing opportunities to discover what multiple approaches are
available and how to assess alternatives while making design decisions
(something that Data Scientists do everyday). You will also be exposed
to web technologies like HTML, Document Object Model, XPath, RSelenium
in the context of web scraping, that will take your data analysis skills
to the next level. The course will walk you through the step by step
process of scraping real-life and live data from a classifieds website
to analyse real-estate trends in Australia. This will involve acquiring,
cleansing, munging and analyzing data using R statistical and
visualisation capabilities.
Each and every topic will be thoroughly explained with real-life
hands-on examples, exercises along with disseminating implications,
nuances, challenges and best-practices based on my years of experience.
What you will gain from this course will be incomparable to what's
currently available out there as you will be leveraging my
growing experience and exposure in Data Science. This course will
position you to not only apply for Data Science jobs but will also
enable you to use R for more challenging industry-grade
projects/problems and ultimately it will super-charge your career.
So take the decision and enrol in this course and lets work together to make you specialize in R Programming like never before!
