¿Qué es Big Data?
Bienvenido al primer módulo del curso. En este módulo responderemos a la pregunta ¿Qué es el Big Data? Para ellos nos centraremos en conocer como llegamos hoy al Big Data, cuáles son las 3V principales e identificaremos las diferencias que tiene Big Data con las arquitecturas tradicionales.

WEEK 2
¿Cómo almacenamos Big Data?
Bienvenido al segundo módulo del curso. Dentro de este módulo nos centraremos en responder a la pregunta ¿Cómo almacenamos Big Data? Para ello identificaremos los requerimientos y desafíos de almacenamiento de Big Data, conoceremos acerca de la arquitectura conceptual y veremos algunos ejemplos, y conoceremos sobre sistemas de archivos distribuidos y sistemas manejadores de bases de datos NoSQL.

WEEK 3
¿Cómo procesamos Big Data?
Bienvenido al tercer módulo del curso. Durante el desarrollo de este módulo nos enfocaremos en responder a la pregunta ¿Cómo procesamos Big Data? Para ello trabajaremos en tres temas principales: Procesamiento escalable y Map-Rediuce, Spark y Arquitecturas para procesamientos de datos de flujos.

WEEK 4
¿Cuál es el rol de la nube en entornos Big Data?
Te damos la bienvenida al cuarto y último módulo de nuestro curso. Durante este módulo responderemos a la pregunta ¿Cuál es el rol de la nube en entornos Big Data? Para ello, una vez comprendamos los aspectos conceptuales, revisaremos las posibilidades de procesamiento y almacenamiento que hacen de la nube un entorno ideal para Big Data. También revisaremos las ventajas y riesgos de utilizar servicios públicos en la nube.

Infonomics II: Business Information Management and Measurement (Coursera)

Business

Even decades into the Information Age, accounting practices yet fail to recognize the financial value of information. Moreover, traditional asset management practices fail to recognize information as an asset to be managed with earnest discipline. This has led to a business culture of complacence, and the inability for most organizations to fully leverage available information assets. This second course in the two-part Infonomics series explores how and why to adapt well-honed asset management principles and practices to information, and how to apply accepted and new valuation models to gauge information’s potential and realized economic benefits.

In this course we briefly introduce the DCIC and the various Centers that collect data for LINCS. We then cover metadata and how metadata is linked to ontologies. We then present data processing and normalization methods to clean and harmonize LINCS data. This follow discussions about how data is served as RESTful APIs. Most importantly, the course covers computational methods including: data clustering, gene-set enrichment analysis, interactive data visualization, and supervised learning. Finally, we introduce crowdsourcing/citizen-science projects where students can work together in teams to extract expression signatures from public databases and then query such collections of signatures against LINCS data for predicting small molecules as potential therapeutics.

Relational Database Support for Data Warehouses is the third course in the Data Warehousing for Business Intelligence specialization. In this course, you'll use analytical elements of SQL for answering business intelligence questions. You'll learn features of relational database management systems for managing summary data commonly used in business intelligence reporting. Because of the importance and difficulty of managing implementations of data warehouses, we'll also delve into storage architectures, scalable parallel processing, data governance, and big data impacts. In the assignments in this course, you can use either Oracle or PostgreSQL.

CS: Theory Data Science

Manipulating big data distributed over a cluster using functional concepts is rampant in industry, and is arguably one of the first widespread industrial uses of functional ideas. This is evidenced by the popularity of MapReduce and Hadoop, and most recently Apache Spark, a fast, in-memory distributed collections framework written in Scala. In this course, we'll see how the data parallel paradigm can be extended to the distributed case, using Spark throughout.

Data Visualization in Excel (Coursera)

Business

In an age now driven by "big data", we need to cut through the noise and present key information in a way that can be quickly consumed and acted upon making data visualization an increasingly important skill. Visualizations need to not only present data in an easy to understand and attractive way, but they must also provide context for the data, tell a story, achieving that fine balance between form and function. Excel has many rivals in this space, but it is still an excellent choice, particularly if it's where your data resides. It offers a wealth of tools for creating visualizations other than charts and the chart options available are constantly increasing and improving, so the newer versions now include waterfall charts, sunburst diagrams and even map charts. But what sets Excel apart is its flexibility, it gives us total creative control over our designs so if needed we could produce our own animated custom chart to tell the right story for our data.
