The Skills That Set You Apart

The Data Science Process

Learn the data science process, including how to build effective data visualizations, and how to communicate with various stakeholders

Communicating to Stakeholders

Project Write A Data Science Blog Post

In this project, learners will choose a dataset, identify three questions, and analyze the data to find answers to these questions. They will create a GitHub repository with their project, and write a blog post to communicate their findings to the appropriate audience. This project will help learners reinforce and extend their knowledge of machine learning, data visualization, and communication.

01. Introduction

Why should a data scientist learn web development?

In this course, you are going to use Flask to build a data dashboard. You might be thinking that you already have good tools for visualizing data such as matplotlib, seaborn, or Tableau.

However, the web development skills you’ll learn in this lesson will prepare you for building other types of data science applications. Data scientists are increasingly being asked to deploy their work as an application in the cloud.

For example, consider a project where you build a model that classifies disaster relief messages into categories. With your web development skills, you could turn that model into a web app where you would input a message and display the resulting message category.

As another example, consider a system that recommends movies based on a user’s preferences. Part of the recommendation engine could include a web application that displays recommended products based on a userid. What you learn in this course will set you up for building the web app portion of the recommendation engine.
