Ottawa Valley SAGE

O’Reilly just just put up an offer for a pretty complete getting started in data analysis library. It doesn’t say when the offer ends, but if you are looking for some books on data manipulation, this might have everything you are looking for. (Link)

Data Science Starter Kit
The Tools You Need to Get Started with Data
This kit includes everything you need from analysis, visualization, to management.

“The success of companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Netflix, not to mention Wall Street firms and industries from manufacturing and retail to healthcare, is increasingly driven by better tools for extracting meaning from very large quantities of data. ‘Data Scientist’ is now the hottest job title in Silicon Valley.” – Tim O’Reilly

I’ve been a little slow posting, not sure it’s laziness or just wasn’t feeling up to it. The main topic starting out was the certification item Jim had mentioned. There was a discussion about a year ago on the SAGE mailing list about such a thing and both Kelwin and I had both posted responses.

Thanks to Jim, I’ve corrected the calendar entry. The meeting is next week, not tonight (Oct 13). If you are looking for a meeting to atend tonight, the ocbug (ocbug.ca) meeting is tonight.

– self-contained or db based?
– What works and what does not?
- Certifications – do they have any value?
– Who has certifications?
– Why do you have them?

Title: September Meeting (Note that this is the LAST Thursday in the month)
Location: The Second Cup, Bells Corners
Link out: Click here
Description: As we had a very small turnout for the last meeting, I’ll bring along some photos of the new firewall appliance I assembled with components from pc engines. I’m quite impressed so far.

Hopefully we can stand another of my “doc” talks as well. If I’m successful, I’ll provide the whole thing as an epub file.
