Training a New Generation of Data Scientists by Ryan Goldman.
From the post:
Data scientists drive data as a platform to answer previously unimaginable questions. These multi-talented data professionals are in demand like never before because they identify or create some of the most exciting and potentially profitable business opportunities across industries. However, a scarcity of existing external talent will require companies of all sizes to find, develop, and train their people with backgrounds in software engineering, statistics, or traditional business intelligence as the next generation of data scientists.
Join us for the premiere of Training a New Generation of Data Scientists on Tuesday, March 26, at 2pm ET/11am PT. In this video, Cloudera’s Senior Director of Data Science, Josh Wills, will discuss what data scientists do, how they think about problems, the relationship between data science and Hadoop, and how Cloudera training can help you join this increasingly important profession. Following the video, Josh will answer your questions about data science, Hadoop, and Cloudera’s Introduction to Data Science: Building Recommender Systems course.
This could be fun!
And if nothing else, will give you the tools to distinguish legitimate training, like Cloudera’s, from the “How to make $millions in real estate,” from the guy who makes money selling lectures and books sort of training.
As “hot” as data science is, you don’t have to look for to find that sort of training.
