Data Engineer (Dataquest)

Offered by Dataquest,

Get all the skills and knowledge you need to become a data engineer. You’ll learn how to work with data architecture, data processing, and data systems. By the end, you’ll be able to build a unique data infrastructure, manage data pipelines and data processing, and maintain data systems.

In this path, you’ll master the mandatory technical skills, including Python programming, data pipelines, and data processing. You’ll also learn how to implement algorithms, how to work with multi-table databases using SQL, and key tools like pandas, NumPy, SQLite, MapReduce, and PostgreSQL.
Best of all, you’ll learn by doing — you’ll write code and get feedback directly in the browser. You’ll apply your skills to several guided projects involving realistic business scenarios to build your portfolio and prepare for your next interview.

Statistical Inference (Coursera)

Statistics & Data Analysis Data Science

Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions about populations or scientific truths from data. There are many modes of performing inference including statistical modeling, data oriented strategies and explicit use of designs and randomization in analyses. Furthermore, there are broad theories (frequentists, Bayesian, likelihood, design based, …) and numerous complexities (missing data, observed and unobserved confounding, biases) for performing inference.
