<i>Metis is a 12-week intensive Data Science Bootcamp. My fellow data scientists are of diverse backgrounds, talents, age, and demeanor; and without exception impressive, congenial, and enthusiastic. I look forward to sharing the experience with you!</i>
<p></p>
<p>My first week at Metis was exciting, and of course, challenging. To borrow a metaphor the professors used frequently: [We] want you treading water up to about your neck...not too high, not too low. But for starters… </p>
<bt>What is Metis?:</bt>
<blockquote>
“The Metis Data Science Bootcamp is a full-time, twelve-week intensive experience. […] Upon graduating, students have completed rigorous training in machine learning, programming in multiple languages (Python, Unix, JavaScript), data wrangling, project design, and communication of results for integration in a business environment.”
</blockquote>
<p> Metis is <b>intense</b>--if it doesn’t kill you it will only make you stronger. The work is rewarding and progress is at break-neck speed. Naturally, coding has already become a routine. Even pair programming--coding with a partner--was challenging at first, but those experiences also led to a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>During the first week we learned how to integrate GitHub into our workflow, launching blogs and operating in Unix. We reviewed advanced python techniques before ramping into pandas and numpy, learning data wrangling techniques and Exploratory Data Analysis, using New York City’s [very, very, ugly] MTA turnstile data in a hypothetical context. The project itself wasn't compelling but it allowed us to practice data wrangling and visualization on a large data set. Details to follow in my next post... </p>
<p>Coming soon: #MTAproject</p>
