The Applied Data Analytics & Cloud Application Development Bootcamp with Python, SQL, and R is an intensive 20-day program designed to develop practical competencies in data analytics, statistical analysis, database programming, application development, testing, and cloud deployment. The program follows a progressive learning path: participants establish programming and development foundations, build competency in Python for data processing and analytics, use SQL for relational data management and analytical querying, apply R for statistical analysis and modeling, and then integrate these technologies into a database-driven Python web application.

Throughout the bootcamp, participants complete hands-on exercises and mini-projects that progressively contribute to a final end-to-end capstone project. The capstone integrates the complete workflow below:

SQL Database  →  Python Data Processing & Analytics  →  R Statistical Analysis/Modeling  →  Python Web Application  →  Testing  →  Cloud Deployment

 

 Duration 20 Days – 140 hrs.
