Coding Skills for Data Science

Data science demands hands-on coding ability. This course develops your computational thinking and programming fundamentals through real-world datasets and problem-based assignments. You'll learn algorithm design, data selection and iteration, and the abstraction techniques that separate good solutions from poor ones.

Working with tools like Processing, you'll build data visualizations and apply foundational programming concepts. Part of the Big Data MicroMasters, this course prepares you for roles in data analytics and positions you to handle big data challenges at scale. Ideal for aspiring data scientists and business analysts.

About this course

There is a rising demand for people with the skills to undertake coding for data analytics and work with Big Data sets. This course can start you on your journey through our Big Data MicroMasters program, allowing you to work towards a recognised credential in this highly competitive area.

What will you learn?

Using practical activities you will learn how digital technologies work and will develop your coding and computational thinking skills through engaging and collaborative assignments.

You will learn algorithm design as well as fundamental programming for data science concepts such as data selection, iteration and functional decomposition, data abstraction and organisation. In addition to this you will learn how to perform simple data visualisations using Processing and embed your learning using problem-based assignments.

This course will test your knowledge and skills in solving small-scale data science problems working with real-world datasets and develop your understanding of big data in the world around you.
