R SCRIPTING LANGUAGE
R is a scripting language that is used for statistical computing and is widely incorporated in data
analysis modelling. It is an interpreter-based language and possesses the features of an object-
oriented programming language.
STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL)
SQL is used for managing and querying data stored in databases. Extracting information from the
database is the first step towards data analysis. It is a flexible and dynamic language and is used
in extracting, managing and manipulating data.
PYTHON
Python is a widely-used language for data science and software development. It is an interpreter-
based high-level language which has gained popularity because of its ease of use and code
readability.
It comes with many packages for deep learning and is hence used widely for data analysis
and natural language processing. Python is utilised for purposes like data mining, wrangling,
visualisation, and developing predictive models.
HADOOP
Hadoop has become the most popular software framework for big data and it is a tool that helps
in regulating the storage of massive datasets.
TABLEAU
Tableau is an ideal data visualisation software that helps in analysing data which allows users to
create interactive visualisations and dashboards. It has the ability to connect with spreadsheets,
relational databases, and cloud platforms which enable it to process data directly.
AI AND DATA SCIENCE
AI has gained quite a lot of popularity these days. It is now being used in almost every technology
imaginable. The major components of AI include data, natural language processing and computer
vision. If you look closely, these are also based on data and its applications. For instance, computer
vision uses a lot of data to create datasets which in turn becomes the base of the AI system which
is capable of recognising any object in a given image. To create such an intelligent system, we
need a lot of data and to process all that data we need data science. Hence, you can say that
Data Science and AI go hand in hand.
