Becoming a Data Professional – taking it to the next level

Buck Woody, Senior Technical Specialist, Microsoft

What does a “Data Scientist” or a data professional that works in larger sets of data need to know? Buck Woody, a Senior Technical Professional at Microsoft, will explain a few of the major topics you need to be familiar with to enter this new level of working with data. Buck also assisted in the design of the Data Science program at the University of Washington, and teaches a database certification course there.
 
You’ll learn which areas to study, the types of problem areas this knowledge solves, and how to develop a study plan, along with resources to learn more.

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest SQL Server User Group (PNWSQL) web site!
