Data Services Engineering COMP9321 25T1

Welcome to Week5 of COMP9321

Posted by Morty Al-Banna a day ago.

Dear All,

Welcome to Week5 of COMP9321. Congrats, we are halfway through.

For this Week, we are going to continue with the topic of Web Services and focusing on REST API. This is the second phase of the course, where we focus on how you can allow your data to be consumed as a web service. We are going to consider how you can consider your Web API RESTful, some best practices and how you can leverage the existing Python libraries to help you build your REST Web API.

The Lab activities for Week5 are now available. We encourage you to do them at your own convenience. As always, we have consultation labs for everyday of the week. Check the timetable section for the times. It worth to remember that in each Lab session, the Tutor will be available to answer question and provide support as needed. Feel free to reach out to the tutor and you can initiate a call and share your screen as needed.

In regard to what’s due this week, Assignment1, is Due today in few hours and Quiz2 is Due Tuesday before Noon. I hope that you have submitted your assignment1 by now or finalizing and polishing your submission. Again, I want you to remember that the assignment is on the scale of a small individual project. The assignments are there to help you practice what you have learned, and the marks are there to give you feedback to improve. Use the forum in ED discussions and the consultation labs if you require support.

The COMP9321 teaching team is always rooting for you and here to help. Do not hesitate to use the forum to ask as many questions or contact us via the course email.

As always, remember to have fun and enjoy the learning experience. :)

Cheers,

COMP9321 Teaching Team<

Welcome to Week4 of COMP9321

Dear All,

Welcome to Week4 of COMP9321. Things are getting more interesting…

For this Week, we are going to cover the topic of Data visualization. Visualization is a very important topic. We are going to learn what makes a good visualization, and how we can apply our knowledge in Python and Pandas to generate some useful visualisations. We are also going to start with the second phase of the course which is Web Services.

The Lab activities for Week4 are now available. We encourage you to do them at your own convenience. As always, we have consultation labs for everyday of the week. Check the timetable section for the times.

Quiz2 will be released after Thursday lecture. Make sure to participate before the deadline and remember for Quiz2 and all the coming quizzes you only have one attempt on each. We are going to keep quizzes release to be after the Thursday lectures and due Monday, so it is easier to track.

Assignment1 specification was released last week. I can already see many interesting conversations in the forum. Remember that the assignment is on the scale of a small individual project and the dataset we are using is a real-world dataset coming from external source (i.e., we have not synthesized the data). Utilize your analytical skills and what you have learned in the course. Start early and ask as many questions as possible in the Forum and/or the consultation labs. If you have not noticed the post made by Dylan in ED about the Q1 clarification, please have a look at the specification to see the update. The assignments are there to help you practice what you have learned, and the marks are there to give you feedback to improve.
