Description

Unlock the power of data visualization by mastering both R and Python, the leading programming languages in the realm of data science. This comprehensive course is designed for learners of all levels, whether you're a beginner with no prior coding experience or a professional looking to enhance your data representation skills.

Course Highlights:


  1. Foundation in R Programming: Dive into the world of R, a language crafted specifically for statistical analysis and data visualization.

    • String Manipulation: Understand the intricacies of working with text data, an essential skill for data cleaning and preprocessing.

    • Boolean Logic: Get to grips with logical operations, a cornerstone of any programming language.

    • Control Structures: Master the "if-else" conditional statements, and loop constructs like "while" and "for," giving you the tools to handle data more flexibly.

    • Data Structures: Delve into the heart of R with structures like Vectors, Lists, Matrices, and Arrays. Learn how to efficiently organize, access, and modify your data.


  2. Visualizing Data with R: Translate your data into meaningful visuals.

    • Plot Charts: Learn the basics of plotting and customize your charts to represent data effectively.

    • Scatterplots: Dive into bivariate data analysis and observe relationships and patterns.

    • Bar, Pie, and Line Charts: Showcase categorical data, compare parts-to-whole relationships, and track changes over periods, respectively.


  3. Introductory Python for Visualization: Transition into Python, another titan in the data science world, renowned for its flexibility and robust libraries.


  4. Crafting Visual Stories with Python:

    • Bar and Horizontal Bar Charts: Ideal for representing categorical data, understand when and how to use both vertical and horizontal bar charts.

    • Bubble and Donut Charts: Add an element of depth and segment your data with these visually appealing charts.

    • Line and Time Series Charts: Track changes over time, be it stock prices or temperature fluctuations.

    • Pie and Sunburst Charts: From simple pie charts to hierarchical sunbursts, comprehend the best way to represent hierarchical datasets.


Why This Course?

I am Self-Taught developer who had worked on various platforms using varied languages, and involved in various Projects both Open Source and Proprietary.

I have developed Web and Android Applications, chrome Extension, worked on various frameworks, fixed bugs for some projects, and explored numerous others. I think education and learning should be free and open, not be bound with restrictions like attending classes or going to college, People from all age groups, gender, faith, race, nations, etc must get equal privilege. When entire world would act this way like being a single FAMILY, we would truly realize VALUE of Knowledge and Human Life.

Currently I am teaching more than 152,000 students from 189 countries across the world.
