Main Modules

Companies don’t pay money for the code you write in your notebook cells. They pay money for you to solve a problem. But how do you package your expertise and put a price tag on it?

Commercializing Data Science expertise

As an extra challenge, your trainer will walk you through a template of past and current projects in rapid succession, to demonstrate 9 ways of building a project. Having built and sold a company that product marketing automation software and chatbot solutions in 2017, Samuel has since launched 4 other public-facing projects, each to varying degrees of the userbase.

He maintains a number of open source tools and his automated course production tool, Corgi powers all of the courses by Algoritma. He also runs a data science development house, Supertype that builds out custom software for open source and enterprises.

  • [Demo] Building API services (~20 days)
  • [Demo] Self-serve software (SaaS) with Stripe and Paypal (~31 days)
  • [Demo] Custom one-time development work (vary depending on scope)
  • [Demo] Providing enterprise support on your work (~5 days)
  • [Demo] Custom Shiny app development (~5 days)
  • [Demo] Custom Flask app development (~5 days)
  • [Demo] Consulting (vary depending on scope)
  • [Demo] Custom package development (~15 days)
  • [Demo] Extensions, Add-ons, Plugins (~20 days)

The actual duration of the work is determined by the scope of your ambition, the complexity of your problem, and your actual experience/proficiency but these are big-picture estimates for a “minimally sellable product”.

Engineering Data Science products

  • Toolsets (R, Python, version control, automated tests, packaging, continuous deployment, backends, database)
  • Launching an open source project and considerations (deployment, licenses, copyright, API rate limiting, analytics)
  • Free code templates to building your data products
  • Getting started with open source contributions

Code Examples

  • Demo: Designing scalable database models the right way and the wrong way
  • Demo: Writing reusable, modular, production-ready code following DRY (don’t-repeat-yourself) principles
  • Demo: Working in a dev team with git, GitHub Actions and other workflow automation in a collaborative setup
  • Demo: Writing robust tests using pytestnosetestcoverage
  • Code Demo and Discussion: shinyflask or django for your next web application?

FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS

Workshops in this series are tailored to casual programmers and non-programmers that are taking their first steps into data science. It assumes no prior knowledge or academic background, and attendees will be introduced to the beautiful art of writing R / Python code to produce data visualization and build machine learning models. The workshop has a gentle learning slope that is designed with non-technical professionals and academics in mind.

Yes, you can still attend the workshop as it is an introductory workshop

We will send the materials via email before the workshop starts.
