The Least Disliked Programming Language

The state of data science, exploring Toronto Crime data, recent R data packages, mapping learner experience. [DataCamp]( DataCamp Weekly Issue #22 ― November 7, 2017 Good morning! Lots to get to today. Starting with our latest tutorial: Python List Comprehension. Next is a Kaggle post on the State of Data Science & Machine Learning, and a list of recent R Data Packages which you might find useful. Finally, we dive into streaming dataframes, the least disliked programming language (can you guess which one it is?), live coding recap and more! We hope you enjoy this one. Like what you’re seeing?

Projects & Resources [Python List Comprehension Tutorial]( Learn how to effectively use list comprehension in Python to create lists, to replace (nested) for loops and the map(), filter() and reduce() functions. Get up to speed on the advanced use of Python lists with this tutorial. [datacamp.com]( [The State of Data Science & Machine Learning]( Kaggle sent out an in-depth survey to get some insights on the industry-wide state of data science. Some of the results of the 16,000 responses received will surprise you. [kaggle.com]( [Recent R Data Packages]( Things move fast within the R community. This article lists 44 R packages that were added to CRAN in the past two months that, in some way, are concerned with data. Great overview with a short description of each package. [r-bloggers.com]( [Exploring, Clustering, and Mapping Toronto’s Crimes]( The city of Toronto recently released its crime data to the public. This article explores this dataset in fascinating ways. Answering questions such as crime by time of day, top offenses, major crimes, etc. Great read. [r-bloggers.com]( In the News [Live Coding Recap: Frequencies of Words in Novels]( A quick recap on our first live coding session from a couple of weeks back. All you need to recreate it is on this blog post. With a quick announcement on the next live coding event. Stay tuned! [datacamp.com]( [R: the least disliked programming language]( DataCamp instructor David Robinson is back with another analysis on Stack Overflow data. This time, his blog post explores the most disliked programming languages. As David mentions, the fastest growing languages tend to be the least disliked. We’re happy to see both Python and R as some of the least disliked. [stackoverflow.blog]( [Mapping Learner Experience with a Sphere of Possibilities]( This article by a professor that uses DataCamp explores DataCamp courses as a dataset! Interesting read on how to best design a learning path for students. [medium.com]( [Streaming Dataframes]( Interesting read on an experimental piece of software combining Streamz & Pandas. This is still a work in progress but we have a glimpse of it here. This type of streaming dataframe will come in handy for financial data, web server logs, telemetry, etc. [matthewrocklin.com]( Elsewhere • [Vector Fields, Math, and Art.]( • [6 Books Every Data Scientist Should Keep Nearby]( • [Colaboratory by Google]( • [Big Data Processing at Spotify]( Jobs • [200+ Data Science Jobs at McKinsey]( • [Data Science Intern, Pluvio, Remote OK]( • [Data Scientist, AIG, Bengaluru, India]( That's all for now.
