I'm learning R, in R

I've recently discovered an amazing package for R called Swirl. I realize it's been around for some time now, but it's new to me, and I love it. Swirl() is a straight-forward, user-friendly approach to diving right into R. Each lesson is delivered interactively and in short bursts. The lessons are succinct and detailed, and leave the user feeling informed. For anyone looking to get started with R, I strong recommend Swirl().

Sunflow Data Science & Analytics

My name is Austin Craver and I am a budding Data Scientist. 

I just launched www.SunflowData.com to act as a repository for my progress and work.

It is called Sunflow Data.

Discovering new ways to take raw data and turn it into meaningful results. We strive to continually ensure that the analysis is relevant, and we are committed to providing clean, in-depth datasets.

My Tableau Public Profile

I am super excited (and tired (it's 3:09 AM)) to be diving further into the boundless world of Data Science. One of my best friends was in town a few days ago and he introduced me to Tableau. A couple of days later, I had a fully licensed copy installed on my machine. Two days after that, I got to attend a roundtable discussion at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas. I was surrounded by a small group of community leaders in Data Science. The cities of Plano and Dallas had representatives there, as well as a variety of Data Scientists from a broad range of companies. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to attend other such events.

I have spent the last several hours pouring over datasets and doing my best to produce something meaningful, all while telling a story.



I have since created two original data visualizations. One shows male and female life expectancies around the world. The other shows Internet usage by country.

Tableau/Prep

As I continue my journey, things continue to fall into place. For example, I was just granted a one-year research and education license of both Tableau and Tableau Prep!!! I cannot wait to grab a dataset and dive into the next chapter of my data science life.

I just download, installed, and registered Tableau and Tableau Prep! 

Tensors Flowing

In approximately 12 hours, one of my best friends will be arriving from Houston and we plan on spending the day coding. I am starting Chingu's Voyage 6 and look forward to gleaning as much as I can from his boundless programming expertise. In the meantime, since he mentioned TensorFlow, I have read up on it, which lead me to study tensors in general. The more I learn about machine learning and data science, the more confident I am that I will be learning much more.

Python and Matplotlib

Spending Cinco de Mayo learning about the seemingly endless amazing features of Matplotlib in Python!!! I'm currently studying Data Science via DataCamp, which is a comprehensive online education platform that focuses entirely on data science and programming via Python and R. The screenshot below is of a simple histogram that I created by following a series of Python tutorials.
