Be ready for Big Data
Big data is now the buzzword. The advent of Internet and availability of cheap data storage had caused an explosion of data. Governments and Corporations are constantly looking into turning these data into information and finally into decisions. Having the skills to develop algorithm to process, analyse and manipulate data is now highly valued.
In this course, students will first be introduced to the fundamentals of database design. Students will learn about the relational database model and apply design principles to create databases applicable to real life situations. Students will combine SQLite, a popular database engine module in Python, with other Python modules they have learnt to perform data processing and analytics. They will see the application of this skills in areas such as Finance, Bioinformatics, Supply Chain and Marketing.
