  • Data8: Demo – Little Women – This demo includes programming techniques that we haven’t yet described in detail since the course just started. Don’t worry if you can’t follow the details or understand the code, especially if you haven’t programmed before. Your goal, for now, should be to try to understand why programming and visualization are relevant to data science. Learning the details of programming will start later.
