大数据入门课程
by David Venturi
大卫·文图里(David Venturi)
A year ago, I dropped out of one of the best computer science programs in Canada. I started creating my own data science master’s program using online resources. I realized that I could learn everything I needed through edX, Coursera, and Udacity instead. And I could learn it faster, more efficiently, and for a fraction of the cost.
一年前，我退出了加拿大最好的计算机科学程序之一。 我开始使用在线资源创建自己的数据科学硕士课程 。 我意识到我可以通过edX，Coursera和Udacity学习所需的一切。 而且我可以更快，更有效地学习它，而费用却只有一小部分。
I’m almost finished now. I’ve taken many data science-related courses and audited portions of many more. I know the options out there, and what skills are needed for learners preparing for a data analyst or data scientist role. A few months ago, I started creating a review-driven guide that recommends the best courses for each subject within data science.
我现在快要完蛋了。 我参加了许多与数据科学相关的课程，并对更多课程进行了审计。 我知道那里的选择，以及学习者准备数据分析师或数据科学家角色需要哪些技能。 几个月前，我开始创建一个以评论为导向的指南，为数据科学中的每个学科推荐最佳课程。
For the first guide in the series, I recommended a few coding classes for the beginner data scientist. Then it was statistics and probability classes.
对于本系列的第一个指南，我为初学者数据科学家推荐了一些编码类 。 然后是统计和概率分类 。
现在介绍数据科学。 (Now onto introductions to data science.)
(Don’t worry if you’re unsure of what an intro to data science course entails. I’ll explain shortly.)
(不用担心，如果您不确定数据科学课程的介绍会带来什么。我将在稍后进行解释。)
For this guide, I spent 10+ hours trying to identify every online intro to data science course offered as of January 2017, extracting key bits of information from their syllabi and reviews, and compiling their ratings. For this task, I turned to none other than the open source Class Central community and its database of thousands of course ratings and reviews.
对于本指南，我花了10多个小时来尝试确定截至2017年1月提供的每门在线数据科学课程介绍，从他们的教学大纲和评论中提取关键信息，并编制其评分。 对于此任务，我只选择了开放源码的Class Central社区及其包含数千个课程评分和评论的数据库。
Since 2011, Class Central founder Dhawal Shah has kept a closer eye on online courses than arguably anyone else in the world. Dhawal personally helped me assemble this list of resources.
自2011年以来， Class Central的创始人Dhawal Shah一直在关注在线课程，这一点可以说是世界上其他任何人所不及的。 达瓦尔亲自帮助我整理了这份资源清单。
我们如何选择要考虑的课程 (How we picked courses to consider)
Each course must fit three criteria:
每门课程必须符合三个条件：
It must teach the data science process. More on that soon.
它必须教授数据科学过程。 很快就可以了。
It must be on-demand or offered every few months.
必须按需或每几个月提供一次。
It must be an interactive online course, so no books or read-only tutorials. Though these are viable ways to learn, this guide focuses on courses.
它必须是交互式的在线课程，因此没有书籍或只读教程 。 尽管这些是可行的学习方法，但本指南重点介绍课程。
We believe we covered every notable course that fits the above criteria. Since there are seemingly hundreds of courses on Udemy, we chose to consider the most-reviewed and highest-rated ones only. There’s always a chance that we missed something, though. So please let us know in the comments section if we left a good course out.
我们相信，我们涵盖了符合上述条件的所有重要课程。 由于关于Udemy的课程似乎有数百种 ，因此我们选择只考虑评论次数最多和评分最高的课程。 不过，总有可能我们错过了一些东西。 因此，如果我们留下了好的课程，请在评论部分让我们知道。
我们如何评估课程 (How we evaluated courses)
We compiled average rating and number of reviews from Class Central and other review sites to calculate a weighted average rating for each course. We read text reviews and used this feedback to supplement the numerical ratings.
我们汇总了Class Central和其他评论网站的平均评分和评论数量，以计算每个课程的加权平均评分。 我们阅读了文字评论，并使用此反馈来补充数字等级。
We made subjective syllabus judgment calls based on two factors:
我们基于两个因素进行了主观的课程提纲判断：
1. Coverage of the data science process. Does the course brush over or skip certain subjects? Does it cover certain subjects in too much detail? See the next section for what this process entails.
1. 数据科学过程的覆盖范围。 课程会否跳过或跳过某些科目？ 它是否涵盖了某些主题的过多细节？ 有关此过程的含义，请参见下一部分。
2. Usage of common data science tools. Is the course taught using popular programming languages like Python and/or R? These aren’t necessary, but helpful in most cases so slight preference is given to these courses.
2. 通用数据科学工具的使用。 该课程是否使用流行的编程语言(例如Python和/或R)教授？ 这些不是必需的，但在大多数情况下很有帮助，因此对这些课程略有偏爱。
什么是数据科学过程？ (What is the data science process?)
What is data science? What does a data scientist do? These are the types of fundamental questions that an intro to data science course should answer. The following infographic from Harvard professors Joe Blitzstein and Hanspeter Pfister outlines a typical data science process, which will help us answer these questions.
什么是数据科学？ 数据科学家做什么？ 这些是数据科学课程入门应回答的基本问题的类型。 以下来自哈佛大学教授Joe Blitzstein和Hanspeter Pfister的信息图概述了典型的数据科学过程 ，这将有助于我们回答这些问题。
Our goal with this introduction to data science course is to become familiar with the data science process. We don’t want too in-depth coverage of specific aspects of the process, hence the “intro to” portion of the title.
我们对数据科学课程的介绍的目标是要熟悉数据科学过程。 我们不想太深入地介绍过程的特定方面，因此不希望标题的“简介”部分。
For each aspect, the ideal course explains key concepts within the framework of the process, introduces common tools, and provides a few examples (preferably hands-on).
对于每个方面，理想的课程都将解释流程框架内的关键概念，介绍通用工具，并提供一些示例(最好是动手实践)。
We’re only looking for an introduction. This guide therefore won’t include full specializations or programs like Johns Hopkins University’s Data Science Specialization on Coursera or Udacity’s Data Analyst Nanodegree. These compilations of courses elude the purpose of this series: to find the best individual courses for each subject to comprise a data science education. The final three guides in this series of articles will cover each aspect of the data science process in detail.
我们只是在寻找介绍。 因此，本指南将不包括约翰霍普金斯大学的Coursera 数据专业或Udacity的Data Analyst Nanodegree等完整的专业或计划。 这些课程的汇编没有达到本系列课程的目的：为每个学科寻找最佳的个别课程，以构成数据科学教育。 本系列文章中的最后三本指南将详细介绍数据科学过程的每个方面。
所需的基本编码，统计数据和概率经验 (Basic coding, stats, and probability experience required)
Several courses listed below require basic programming, statistics, and probability experience. This requirement is understandable given that the new content is reasonably advanced, and that these subjects often have several courses dedicated to them.
下面列出的几门课程需要基本的编程，统计学和概率经验。 鉴于新内容已经相当高级，并且这些主题通常都有专门针对它们的几门课程，因此这一要求是可以理解的。
This experience can be acquired through our recommendations in the first two articles (programming, statistics) in this Data Science Career Guide.
可通过本《数据科学职业指南》的前两篇文章( 编程 ， 统计资料 )中的建议来获得这种经验。
我们选择的最佳数据科学入门课程是…… (Our pick for the best intro to data science course is…)
Data Science A-Z™: Real-Life Data Science Exercises Included (Kirill Eremenko/Udemy)
数据科学AZ™：包括现实生活中的数据科学练习 (Kirill Eremenko / Udemy)
Kirill Eremenko’s Data Science A-Z™ on Udemy is the clear winner in terms of breadth and depth of coverage of the data science process of the 20+ courses that qualified. It has a 4.5-star weighted average rating over 3,071 reviews, which places it among the highest rated and most reviewed courses of the ones considered.
Kirill Eremenko的Udemy上的Data Science AZ™在合格的20多个课程的数据科学过程的广度和深度方面显然是赢家。 它拥有4.5颗星的加权平均评分，超过3,071条评论，使其跻身于所考虑课程中评分最高和评价最高的课程之一。
It outlines the full process and provides real-life examples. At 21 hours of content, it is a good length. Reviewers love the instructor’s delivery and the organization of the content. The price varies depending on Udemy discounts, which are frequent, so you may be able to purchase access for as little as $10.
它概述了整个过程，并提供了实际示例。 在21个小时的内容中，这是一个不错的时长。 评论者喜欢讲师的授课内容和内容的组织方式。 价格根据Udemy的折扣而有所不同，而Udemy的折扣经常出现，因此您可以以低至10美元的价格购买访问权限。
Though it doesn’t check our “usage of common data science tools” box, the non-Python/R tool choices (gretl, Tableau, Excel) are used effectively in context. Eremenko mentions the following when explaining the gretl choice (gretl is a statistical software package), though it applies to all of the tools he uses (emphasis mine):
尽管未选中“通用数据科学工具的使用”框，但非Python / R工具选择(gretl，Tableau，Excel)在上下文中有效使用。 Eremenko在解释gretl选择(gretl是一个统计软件包)时提到了以下内容，尽管它适用于他使用的所有工具(重点是我的)：
In gretl, we will be able to do the same modeling just like in R and Python but we won’t have to code. That’s the big deal here. Some of you may already know R very well, but some may not know it at all. My goal is to show you how to build a robust model and give you a framework that you can apply in any tool you choose. gretl will help us avoid getting bogged down in our coding.
在gretl中，我们将能够像在R和Python中一样进行相同的建模，但是我们不必编写代码。 这很重要。 你们中有些人可能已经非常了解R，但有些人可能根本不知道。 我的目标是向您展示如何构建健壮的模型，并为您提供一个可应用于所选任何工具的框架 。 gretl将帮助我们避免陷入编码困境。
One prominent reviewer noted the following:
一位著名的审稿人指出：
Kirill is the best teacher I’ve found online. He uses real life examples and explains common problems so that you get a deeper understanding of the coursework. He also provides a lot of insight as to what it means to be a data scientist from working with insufficient data all the way to presenting your work to C-class management. I highly recommend this course for beginner students to intermediate data analysts!
Kirill是我在网上找到的最好的老师。 他使用现实生活中的示例并解释了常见问题，以便您对课程学习有更深入的了解。 对于从缺乏足够的数据到将您的工作呈现给C级管理的全过程，成为数据科学家意味着什么，他也提供了很多见识。 我强烈建议初学者向中级数据分析师推荐此课程！
出色的Python简介 (A great Python-focused introduction)
Intro to Data Analysis (Udacity)
数据分析简介 (Udacity)
Udacity’s Intro to Data Analysis is a relatively new offering that is part of Udacity’s popular Data Analyst Nanodegree. It covers the data science process clearly and cohesively using Python, though it lacks a bit in the modeling aspect. The estimated timeline is 36 hours (six hours per week over six weeks), though it is shorter in my experience. It has a 5-star weighted average rating over two reviews. It is free.
Udacity的数据分析入门是相对较新的产品，它是Udacity受欢迎的Data Analyst Nanodegree的一部分 。 尽管它在建模方面缺乏一点，但它使用Python清晰，连贯地涵盖了数据科学过程。 估计的时间范围为36小时(六周内每周六小时)，但根据我的经验来看时间较短。 该酒店在2条评论中获得5星级加权平均评分。 这是免费的。
The videos are well-produced and the instructor (Caroline Buckey) is clear and personable. Lots of programming quizzes enforce the concepts learned in the videos. Students will leave the course confident in their new and/or improved NumPy and Pandas skills (these are popular Python libraries). The final project — which is graded and reviewed in the Nanodegree but not in the free individual course — can be a nice add to a portfolio.
视频制作精良，讲师(Caroline Buckey)清晰且风度翩翩。 许多编程测验强制实施了视频中学习的概念。 学生将对新的和/或改进的NumPy和Pandas技能(这些是流行的Python库)充满信心。 最终项目(可以在Nanodegree中进行评分和审查，但不能在免费的个人课程中进行评估)可以很好地添加到项目组合中。
没有评论数据的令人印象深刻的产品 (An impressive offering with no review data)
Data Science Fundamentals (Big Data University)
数据科学基础 (大数据大学)
Data Science Fundamentals is a four-course series provided by IBM’s Big Data University. It includes courses titled Data Science 101, Data Science Methodology, Data Science Hands-on with Open Source Tools, and R 101.
数据科学基础知识是IBM大数据大学提供的四门课程。 它包括名为“ 数据科学101” ，“ 数据科学方法论” ， “使用开放源代码工具进行数据科学动手”和“ R 101”的课程。
It covers the full data science process and introduces Python, R, and several other open-source tools. The courses have tremendous production value. 13–18 hours of effort is estimated, depending on if you take the “R 101” course at the end, which isn’t necessary for the purpose of this guide. Unfortunately, it has no review data on the major review sites that we used for this analysis, so we can’t recommend it over the above two options yet. It is free.
它涵盖了整个数据科学过程，并介绍了Python，R和其他几个开源工具。 这些课程具有巨大的生产价值。 估计需要13到18个小时的工作量，具体取决于您是否在最后完成“ R 101”课程，对于本指南而言，这不是必需的。 不幸的是，它在我们用于此分析的主要评论网站上都没有评论数据，因此我们不能在以上两个选项中推荐它。 这是免费的。
