  3. Finding a home for your data - cloud computing and its infrastructure for growth and support
  4. Popular tools for data preparation (e.g. Knime, Open Refine, Google Sheet/Xpath, Scrapinghub, Beautiful Soap, and Scrapy)

b. Exploring your data in Python (6 hrs)

  1. Using Anaconda Jupyter Notebook for data exploration in Python
  2. Introduction to Python operations (operator and operand), control structure, data structure, and function
  3. Useful Python modules for data exploration, analysis and mining (Mathpotlib, Numpy, Pandas, etc.)
  4. Free online resources for self-paced learning in Python (codeacademy.com, coursera.org, udacity.com, cognitiveclass.ai, etc.)

Workshop 3: Visualizing and Publishing Your Data in Python (9 hrs) (暫定於9月中至10月初舉辦)

  3. Functions and API for more advanced data modelling and application development
  4. Integration with other web applications for team collaboration and project management

b. Data Visualisation in JavaScript (3 hrs)

  1. Front-end vs. back-end programming: interface with the user and interface with the data using the Python Flask framework
  2. Useful JavaScript libraries (jQuery, D3, Mpld3, Leaflet, etc.) for data visualization and front-end interactions
