Web Development vs Data Science?Web Development vs Data Science?
July 2018
That is the question.
About Thinkful
We train developers and data scientists
through 1x1 mentorship and project-based
learning.  Guaranteed.
Today's Goals
What is Data Science?
What is Web development?
How's the job market for both?
How do I know if I'm geared for either?
Next steps
What is Data Science
What is Data Science: The Data Pipeline
1. Form a Question
2. Collect the Raw Data
3. Process the Data
4. Explore the Data
5. Communicate Results
What is Data Science: 4 Types of Data Scientists
1. The Researcher
2. The AI or Automation Guru
3. The Statistician
4. The Super Analyst
What is Data Science: The Researcher
The first data scientists
Often have PhD’s or other advanced degrees
Research background (often in academia)
Research at big companies
Google, Microsoft, etc all have research
departments
Become Teachers themselves
Government agencies
What is Data Science: The Researcher
Work on cutting edge research
The first facial recognition software
Self driving cars
Start by getting a PhD or graduate degree
Then learn to code
What is Data Science: The AI Guru
They love to code
Mostly from scratch
Work at big companies and startups
There are over 3,000 Artificial Intelligence
startups on AngelList
(if you don't know what AngelList is...)
https://angel.co
What is Data Science: The AI Guru
Chatbots and automated assistants
(Siri, Alexa, Einstein, Will.i.Am, etc)
Automated Support
Really just automating anything
Replacing humans, adding efficiency
Write code for everything
Try to automate your own life or routines
Python/JavaScript
What is Data Science: The Statistician
Formal mathematics or statistics training
Lots of Masters in Statistics (shocking)
Not necessarily experienced programmers
May use tools like STATA or R
Statistical consultants
Political polling as an example
Experimentation experts
A/B testing
Optimizely
What is Data Science: The Statistician
Answer statistical questions with data
Are these things different?
Which is best?
Usually don’t build consumer products
Study the math
Elements of Statistical Learning is a great place
to start
But the AI gurus may be automating a lot of
these jobs away...
What is Data Science: The Super Analyst
This is the fastest growing section of data
science
Love numbers and products, and want to put
the two together
Expert problem solvers through code
Can communicate those solutions
Different from a Data Analyst (machine
learning)
The foot-soldiers of the data science revolution...
What is Data Science: The Super Analyst
Every company that generates data
Every app and website records enormous
amounts of data
What can be learned from that data
So basically, Data Scientists are needed
everywhere.
What is Data Science: The Super Analyst
They don’t necessarily build consumer
products, but find consumer insights
Who’s going to be our next customer?
What’s our growth going to be next month?
Will this person click on our ad?
Learn to code
Immerse yourself in data
Learn some basic Machine Learning
