Syllabus

WEEK 1
Table Design
In this module, we'll first talk about the topics we'll address in this course. Then, we'll explore how to create a simple table, and look at ways to modify the existing table.
Structured Query Language (SQL)
In this module we'll explore the Structured Query Language (SQL). We will look at the anatomy of an SQL statement, explore inserting data into a table, modifying existing data, and look at the delete statement.

WEEK 2
Index Design
What are indexes and how are they utilized in Oracle?
Exercise: Test what you've learned!
In this exercise, you'll write some basic SQL code to build a table. Then, you'll modify it.

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 analysis has replaced data acquisition as the bottleneck to evidence-based decision making --- we are drowning in it. Extracting knowledge from large, heterogeneous, and noisy datasets requires not only powerful computing resources, but the programming abstractions to use them effectively. The abstractions that emerged in the last decade blend ideas from parallel databases, distributed systems, and programming languages to create a new class of scalable data analytics platforms that form the foundation for data science at realistic scales.
