Module 1 Summary

Congratulations! You have completed this module. At this point in the course, you know:

 The Data Science Task Categories include:

 Data Management - storage, management and retrieval of data

 Data Integration and Transformation - streamline data pipelines and automate data
processing tasks

 Data Visualization - provide graphical representation of data and assist with


communicating insights

 Modelling - enable Building, Deployment, Monitoring and Assessment of Data and


Machine Learning models

 Data Science Tasks support the following:

 Code Asset Management - store & manage code, track changes and allow collaborative
development

 Data Asset Management - organize and manage data, provide access control, and
backup assets

 Development Environments - develop, test and deploy code

 Execution Environments - provide computational resources and run the code

The data science ecosystem consists of many open source and commercial options, and include both
traditional desktop applications and server-based tools, as well as cloud-based services that can be
accessed using web-browsers and mobile interfaces.

Data Management Tools: include Relational Databases, NoSQL Databases, and Big Data platforms:

 MySQL, and PostgreSQL are examples of Open Source Relational Database Management
Systems (RDBMS), and IBM Db2 and SQL Server are examples of commercial RDBMSes and are
also available as Cloud services.

 MongoDB and Apache Cassandra are examples of NoSQL databases.

 Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark are used for Big Data analytics.

Data Integration and Transformation Tools: include Apache Airflow and Apache Kafka.

Data Visualization Tools: include commercial offerings such as Cognos Analytics, Tableau and PowerBI
and can be used for building dynamic and interactive dashboards.

Code Asset Management Tools: Git is an essential code asset management tool. GitHub is a popular
web-based platform for storing and managing source code. Its features make it an ideal tool for
collaborative software development, including version control, issue tracking, and project management.
Development Environments: Popular development environments for Data Science include Jupyter
Notebooks and RStudio.

 Jupyter Notebooks provides an interactive environment for creating and sharing code,
descriptive text, data visualizations, and other computational artifacts in a web-browser based
interface.

 RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) designed specifically for working with
the R programming language, which is a popular tool for statistical computing and data analysis.
