Introduction To Data Science In Visual Studio

Introduction

 
In this article, we will learn what data science is, what skills are used for it, and what the Data Science workload is, in Visual Studio.
 

What is Data Science?

 
Simply, we can say, it collects the data from different sources and transforms data into decision-making knowledge. This system has properties like -
  • Ability to Access
  • Communicate
  • Process
  • Extract and load
  • Visualization
  • Analysis
  • Make predictions
     
    Below are the major integrated components included in Data Science.

Data Science process life cycle

 
The Team Data Science Process (TDSP) provides a recommended life cycle that you can use to structure the development of your data science projects.
 
This process has five major stages.
  • Business Understanding
  • Data Acquisition and Understanding
  • Modeling
  • Deployment
  • Customer Acceptance

Machine Learning

 
Machine learning is one of the major techniques used in Data Science. Basically, it’s the process of working, like the analysis of the current data, and based on that, forecasting future behaviors, outcomes, and trends.
 
This helps you in making your system/app smarter.
 

Predictive Analytics

 
Predictive analytics is also an important technique used in Data Science. For Predictive Analytics, we use algorithms that analyze the existing data to identify patterns or trends, in order to forecast future events.
 

Data Science in Visual Studio

 
Microsoft included some of the data science tools in Visual Studio, and also made some improvements in the newly released Visual Studio 2017 RC.
