On a daily basis i'm working within an Oracle database environment. Much of that work includes Data Miner, R, Python and Oracle OBIEE.
Many will be wondering what they are and how you can use them. Thankfully there is a set of pre-built Virtual Machines (VMs) that enable you to simulate these different environments.
They are an excellent resources that can be used for investigation of these tools. Personally its a brilliant resource.
I will be using these in the future to demonstrate some of the great features within Oracle that we've been using in the data lab.
For the demonstrations i’m going to be using open data, mainly so users could follow along if there wanted, or even provide information on there own analysis conducted. These pre-built environments are also a great way to try out new skills. Personally i’ve never got into APEX or Docker, but through VMs as well other online resources i’ve started to expand my knowledge in these areas.
The other area I try to encourage people is to have a go at coding. Why not try FreeCode (@freeCodeCamp) or the 100 days of coding challenge (#100DaysOfCode)both of which are great ways to get into coding as well as having a supportive community around you.
Personal favourite languages:
- R
- Python
- SQL
All of which have there own pro’s and con’s. From the R world i’m a huge fan of FlexDashboards, in Python, the ability to do deep learning through Edward/ Tensorflow. SQL is my go to for large data sets and data engineering tasks.
Give it a go, learn a new programming language, have a date night that is programming orientated, develop a new website, what ever it is that you want to push your self in.
