Programming for Analytics

The main objective of the course is to introduce the basic principles of programming for data analytics. The course will use a currently popular programming language that is used to support data analytics. Students will learn how to program in order to access, wrangle, and explore data as well as how to use programming in data analytics-focused applications such as basic visualization and text mining. Even though the course focuses on data analytic applications, the students will also be able to write non-trivial programs in other domains.
