The Course: 
This 4 session course will teach you several essential skills in order to become a Data Scientist: Linux, SQL, Python. It's hands-on by design, so it gives you the practical experience of solving challenging problems. The course will help you remove a lot of the frictions you would encounter at a later stage as a Data Scientist. It will set you up for success at the start of your learning path. Plus it's fun!
Learning Outcome:
<UL>
<LI>Become an intermediate level Linux user</LI>
<LI>Gain enough hands-on experience to be prepared for learning other courses such as machine learning and big data</LI>
<LI>Understand relational database and SQL queries</LI>
<LI>Writing SQL queries to munge data via complex operations such as filter, join and aggregation</LI>
<LI>Gain beginner python experience and start to build simple python applications</LI>
<LI>Working with cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services</LI>

Course Details:
On the pathway to becoming a data scientist/engineer, skill sets such as Linux, Python and SQL are often the first barriers for many students. These are the skills that are not well covered in non-CS academic courses. But they are extremely important in the real-world jobs. We also found that students who struggled the most while learning machine learning and big data were those who did not have good foundational knowledge of Linux/SQL/python. Therefore, WeCloudData developed the Data Science Toolbox course to address the pain points. With a well-defined course outline, experienced instructors and our helpful teaching assistants, WeCloudData is here to point you at the right direction, save time by focusing on knowledge points that matter, stimulate your interests with hands-on assignments and projects so that you can maximize your learning outcome.
