Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these
conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
We are thrilled to announce the free MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on “Big Data Applications and Analytics”. This is a beginner level course and you will enjoy it! It is taught by Professor Geoffrey Fox at Indiana University, Bloomington.
The whole course is free. There are no pre-requisites except for your wish to learn about Big Data and it’s application areas. If you are a programmer, you can also follow the technology tracks and run the code sample provided. Feel free to enroll in the course at https://bigdatacourse.appspot.com. Watch videos, download the course material and join the discussion!
Please ignore last post: it was intended for another group but accidentally sent to this one 🙁
Thanks to all of you who supported this group in its (extremely long 🙂 incubation from initial proposal to now. In that period there’s been much work behind-the-scenes, so expect the imminent publication of a set of reports, being the fruit of this toil 🙂
