What's your current education level, how much discretionary time do you have to pursue this, and how much money do you have/can borrow to pursue this? <br />
<br />
Lots of people ask 'I want to be a data scientist', but without supporting details it is difficult to give an actionable answer.

&quot;Mastering Statistics is the base for Data Analysis.&quot;<br />
<br />
basically contracted MIT for that, surprise that high school and first year math already cover all that as according to them, i am asking more on advance level course.<br />
<br />
I also read that :<br />
<br />

<br />
this writer said it doesn't matter. Python and R work together.<br />

<br />
I get a degree in computer science and computer engineering.<br />
<br />
contracted MIT for that, but the course they offer seems entey level and I have to do it for 6-8 moths.
</div>


<div>
So you're not looking for a job but a course? MIT = Master IT??
</div>


<div>
a course, from MIT school in US
</div>


<div>
That sounds good :)<br />
Best of lucks
</div>


<div>
but they seems all entry level course.
</div>


<div>
so other suggestion on R and the other ?
</div>


<div>
I never saw Python in my life and I only know R but I'm not Expert in this field. <br />
Also, MSSQL 2016 comes with R ;)
</div>


<div>
&quot;Also, MSSQL 2016 comes with R ;)&quot;<br />
<br />
yes i knew.<br />
<br />
do you know if we can program Python in SQL 2016 &nbsp;?<br />
<br />
VS 2015 Community edition have Python project, I am not sure if it is related.
</div>


<div>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
As you do with R? No.<br />
Outside of SQL Server engine I think you can, as you can use any other language to connect to SQL Server.
</div>


<div>
&quot;As you do with R? No.&quot;<br />
<br />
I open VS 2015 and see Pyhon project.
</div>


<div>
Your question was SQL Server related and not Visual Studio. <br />
I don't work with VS so I can't know what's there :)
</div>


<div>
no. as SQL server 2016 include R and I am not sure if we can also do it with Python . that's why I ask here.
</div>


<div>
I know and the answer is no. Maybe in a next version but for now only R comes with SQL Server.
</div>


<div>
ok.<br />
<br />
then must &nbsp;be VS 2015 or after then.
</div>

hi all,<br />
<br />
right now finding good course for data scientists and AI, some course coach python or R lauguage, &nbsp;which one is better?<br />
<br />
I am focusing on data analyse and AI using MS SQL server 2016, can python do analytic on SQL 2016 or must R ?

hi all,

right now finding good course for data scientists and AI, some course coach python or R lauguage,  which one is better?

I am focusing on data analyse and AI using MS SQL server 2016, can python do analytic on SQL 2016 or must R ?

data scientists and AI

Big data describes data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate. Challenges include analysis, capture, data curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, querying and information privacy. The term often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics or certain other advanced methods to extract value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set.

Big Data

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.

Python

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. Major improvements include the  Always On technologies and support for unstructured data types.

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
