big data

Guys, please tell me what you generally need to know BEFORE you start studying big data, if you are not particularly connected with IT and did not go into details (not counting the school computer science course :))? Well, where to start studying big data itself? I want to try myself in IT, I read on the topic - I was interested.

Answer 1

For example, you can start from here: bizobj.ru/[email protected]
If, after reading, the subject is still interesting, then boldly into battle :)

Answer 2

In big data, computer science is not as important as mathematics!
Here is a good picture, which schematically depicts the data scientist's path (there, however, everything is in English, but I think you'll figure it out). Subtract 3/4 from this entire list, you can get an internship.

Answer the question WHERE.
Where will you work with them? In what firm.
BigData in the Russian Federation, for example: Yandex, Mile.Ru, Odnoklassniki, VKontakte....
And that's it.

Answer 4

There are two directions in Big Data now:
1. Data scientist
2. Data engineer The
specialists of the second category most often become people from the world of software engineering, backend developers. If you are interested in how to become one, then I have prepared a small guide to data engineering .
