Data Science

Question

Hello, i am interested in occuping with Data Science. I have just started learning SQL and i would like an opinion about other programming languages that would help me join the Analytics world more easily!!

Answer 1

Before deciding on the programming language you'd like to develop in, I'd recommend you to brush up your skills in mathematics, linear algebra, statistics, probability theory and perhaps modelling :)
Choosing a language should be secondary to this. Just to stay on topic -- Python, of course ;)

Answer 2

Python is a hot topic in analytics and data oriented topics... Plus its beginner friendly!..

Answer 4

Then I stick to my answer and initial choice - go for Python ;)

Although I see more statisticians going for Matlab or R, Python has a much broader scope than the former two. After all, it is a general-purpose language which allows you to create your own applications, web scraping and data mining and more.

Speaking about Julia - too me it seems it is still too early to judge how will that go, but seeing a Julia script running live recently I must admit it is quicker than Python. Not that speed is too much of a problem nowadays, as it is fairly easy to multiplicate or parallelize, but still - it might be a good choice now to at least get a glimpse of it.

If you want to compare between Python and R, I recommend trying out the beginner paths of each at www.datacamp.com - just enough to let you decide.

Answer 5

If so, then it really depends on what exactly would you like to focus on. I recommend you this thread on stack exchange:
https://datascience.stackexchange.com/questions/326/JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-vs-r-for-machine-learning

There is a quick summary of pros and cons of each of them, depending on your exact preference or field of interest.

Answer 6

R, Python and Java

Answer 7

don't forget about Julia :)
easy as python and fast as c

Answer 8

Yes you are right!! But i already have a bachelor in Statistics an a master in Informatics. I just wanted to have a picture about programming languages before i start drilling down to one specific.

Answer 9

I learn R and is a very interesting cosnole, especially for statisticians. So you recommend python, in order to combine it with R?

Answer 10

Also, Scala and Kafka.
