Next steps

- [Voiceover] Now that you've got a better idea…of what data science is and how it works,…you're probably looking for some of the next steps…you can take to develop your skills…and to put them into action.…The single best thing I can recommend at this point…is to get involved.…There's so many ways that you can do this.…For instance, you can go to data science events.…There are major events that happen,…such as the Strata Hadoop World.…These are put on by O'Reilly Media.…They happen several times a year…in several places around the globe.…The same is true for Predictive Analytics World:…somewhere between eight and 10 meetings a year…around the world.…

There are smaller conferences, like Extract,…which is put on by import.io,…and Visualized, which is an event for data designers,…visualizers, story tellers, and technologists.…Or there are specialized events, like PyData and useR!…Those are events for the Python and R…data science communities.…Of course, there's a number of blogs that are available.…Probably the biggest one is DataTau.…
