Study Notes
Data Protection
- Key Rights: Individuals have the right to access, rectify, erase (right to be forgotten), and port their personal data.
- CCPA: California law empowering residents with control over their personal data, including the right to know and delete data held by businesses.
Mobile App Development
- Development Tools: Android Studio for Android apps and Xcode for iOS apps.
- APIs: Used for communication between apps and backend services or other apps.
Cloud Computing Benefits
- Benefits: Cost efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and disaster recovery.
- Deployment Types: Public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud.
Blockchain
- Definition: A decentralized ledger technology that records transactions across numerous computers.
- Applications: Cryptocurrency, supply chain management, identity verification, and smart contracts.
- Challenges: Scalability, energy consumption, and regulatory concerns.
GDPR
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Implemented in the EU, it focuses on protecting personal data and the privacy of individuals.
Big Data
- Definition: Defined by its volume, velocity, and variety.
- Volume: Refers to the massive amounts of data generated daily.
- Velocity: The speed at which data is created and processed. Requires real-time or near-real-time processing capabilities.
- Variety: The diverse types of data, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Managing this variety poses significant challenges.
Hadoop
- Definition: An open-source framework allowing distributed storage and processing of massive datasets across multiple machines.
-
Components:
- Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS): Stores large files across multiple machines.
- MapReduce: A programming model for processing and generating large datasets.
- YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator): Manages and schedules resources in the Hadoop cluster.
Mobile Development Platforms
- iOS: Swift, Objective-C are the primary programming languages.
- Android: Java, Kotlin are the primary programming languages.
Data Analytics
- Definition: The process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data to discover useful information, draw conclusions, and support decision-making.
-
Types of Analytics:
- Descriptive Analytics: Addresses "What has happened?" (e.g., sales reports).
- Diagnostic Analytics: Answers "Why did it happen?" (e.g., root cause analysis).
- Predictive Analytics: Addresses "What is likely to happen in the future?" (e.g., forecasting).
- Prescriptive Analytics: Addresses "What actions should be taken?" (e.g., recommendations based on data).
Data Analytics Applications
- Social Media: Platforms like Facebook and Twitter generate vast amounts of user-generated content that can be analyzed for trends, sentiments, and behaviors.
- IoT Devices: Devices like smart thermostats and wearable fitness trackers continuously generate data that can be analyzed for patterns and insights.
- Transaction Records: E-commerce and retail companies create large volumes of transaction data that can be analyzed to understand customer behavior, inventory management, and sales trends.
ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)
- Definition: A process used to integrate and prepare data from multiple sources for analytics.
-
Steps:
- Extract: Retrieving data from various sources (databases, flat files, APIs).
- Transform: Cleaning and converting data into an appropriate format for analysis (normalization, aggregation, or enriching data).
- Load: Importing the transformed data into a data warehouse or data lake for analysis.
- Importance: ETL processes are essential for integrating data from diverse sources and preparing it for analytics, ensuring reliable and actionable data.
