The Livestream is available at the Strata website. Keynotes and interviews will be happening most of the day Thursday.
If you would like to watch some of the videos and keynotes from today, you can view many of them on the Strata Youtube Channel.
Here is a video to get you started. It is an introduction to Gooru, a search engine for learning.
Code.org is a site focused on helping people learn to code.
Thanks to my friend, Clay Campbell, for introducing me to this video.
Although not specific to data science, if you write a lot of documents with mathematical notation, you are probably familiar with 
There are now some nice resources to help you write and produce
writing and collaboration platform editorAnother site, LaTeX Templates is just what you would guess. It contains of bunch of sample templates to make creating documents a bit quicker and easier.
The Strata Conference 2013 starts today, February 26, 2013. Beginning Wednesday, many of the keynotes will be live-streamed, so you can still follow along even if you (like myself) are not physically present. The talks are always very good, and if you have a chance, it is worth catching a few of the keynotes via live-streaming.
A while back James Kobielus wrote the article, Data Scientist: Consider the Curriculum. It contains one of the best descriptions of a data science curriculum I have seen. Also the article includes a list of algorithms/modeling techniques that should be known by a data scientist. Below is the list from the article.
The list almost looks overwhelming.
Do you think anything is missing from the list?
The very first issue of Big Data Journal is out. All the articles are freely available for download. The titles and authors of the articles look quite good. I will probably be posting more as I read through some of the articles.
New York University has just launched some Data Science programs via the new Center for Data Science.
… to establish the country’s leading data science training and research facilities at NYU.
Part of the announcement is an M.S. in Data Science. Applications for the initial class, starting Fall 2013, are now being accepted. The Center for Data Science also plans to offer Ph.D. degrees via the Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science departments. I am not sure if an official Ph.D. degree in Data Science is being planned.
This is great news!
