Description
Wondering how to make the most of your data?
Transform your data into compelling stories and rich sources of information for your next pitch. This class is made for business professionals or aspiring data scientists that understand the fundamentals of coding (but not much more than that). All you need is a laptop, internet, and 30 minutes.
To focus the class on a concrete application, we study an A/B test comparing the effectiveness of two webpages. However, the process and the skills -- experimental design, data collection, and data analysis -- are broadly applicable.
Prerequisites. Don’t have coding or database experience? No worries.
If you’re unfamiliar with Python or SQL, don’t worry. There are two classes you can take to get up to speed. Each class takes about an hour.
Python: To get started, you can take my Coding 101: Python for Beginners course. In that class, you’ll start from ground zero, learning just the bits of programming that you’ll need. In an hour, you’ll have coding fundamentals needed for this course.
SQL: To get familiar with databases, you can take my SQL 101: Databases for Beginners course as well. In 45 minutes, you’ll have the database fundamentals needed for this course. We won’t explicitly use databases in this class. However, we’ll use related concepts (e.g., GROUP BY)
If you’re already familiar with Python and SQL, feel free to dive right in.

Instructor's CoursesHi, I'm Alvin
Looking to learn coding? machine learning? Let me help! I was formerly a computer science lecturer at UC Berkeley, where I served on various course staffs for 5 years. I'm now a research scientist in industry, working on cutting edge computer vision. I've designed a few courses to get you started -- not just to teach the basics, but also to get you excited to learn more. Check out the courses on my profile! Or scroll down for a guide to getting started.

"Alvin Wan is a fantastic teacher. The instruction format was just what I was looking for. This is fun due to the format... Due to Alvin's teaching method I'm not only grasping the content I'm having fun learning."
Rick M., Coding 101: Python for Beginners
"I hated programming when studying. I had no real goal in mind + our teachers were purely theoretical about it. In this lesson I got hooked! ...Would recommend this to everyone like myself."

Introducing Guest Teacher Derek Wan
I was formerly an instructor for the largest computer science course at the University of California, Berkeley, where I taught undergraduates for several years and won the Distinguished GSI (graduate student instructor) award . I am now a full-time software engineer working on experimentation platforms at a large tech company based in Cupertino, California. However, I'm still passionate about tech education and decided to start making Skillshare courses to get more people excited about coding! I have more courses in the works, but check out what I have so far by scrolling down.

"Derek is an amazing [instructor]. He is not only committed to understanding the material, but is also committed to learning how to better teach it. He always makes time to make sure a student has understood his explanation and goes out of his way to connect with his students and make a personal investment in them."
UC Berkeley undergraduate student (Fall 2018 cohort)
"Derek was always extremely well prepared for every discussion and made it a point to add his own tips and lessons on top of the material already provided... He would teach us any additional material that he thought was relevant or helpful along with the normal material to truly improve our skills."
UC Berkeley undergraduate student (Spring 2020 cohort)
