Data Driven

Summary: Data Driven: the podcast where we explore the emerging field of Data Science. We bring the best minds in Data, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence right to you every Tuesday. The field of data science mashes up the worlds of statistics, database architecture and software engineering. Data Scientist has been labelled by the Harvard Business Review, as "the sexiest job of the 21st century." A quick search of job search sites reveal that this field is in high demand. In a world where Data is the new Oil, Data Science the new Refineries, consider this Car Talk for the Data Age. Every week we bring the best minds in this emerging field straight to you. Our goal is to educate and inspire our listeners so that they can be prepared to thrive in a Data Driven world.

 *DataPoint* Happy #BIML Release Day | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:48

Today is a special day and Andy is excited.  It's Christmas in July. It's BIML Release Day! BimlExpress is a free extension for SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) that snaps right into Visual Studio. BimlExpress now includes a Preview Pane, previously only available in Mist. Mist has been re-branded BimlStudio 2017 and sports lots of new features! Varigence debuts BimlFlex - a commercial Biml framework that greatly accelerates Data Warehouse development. From the product page: "BimlFlex is a collection of templates, metadata definitions, and tooling that enables you to build an end-to-end data solution without ever writing a single line of code. " Why are you reading about this at Data Driven? Because data wrangling is still the largest part of the data science job. Automation, such as that offered by Biml, is the key to shortening the data integration cycle.
