Explaining Data Wrangling

This video contains a practical discussion of the handling and long-term storage of large quantities of data, or what is sometimes now referred to as "data wrangling". It is produced and presented by Christopher Barnatt, Associate Professor of Computing & Future Studies in Nottingham University Business School, and the author of the ExplainingComputers.com website.

hi,,,,,,,, the video was crisp and well explained,,,,, mr.Charles Babcock can you just say how far new applications can be developed using cloud computing

[explainingcomputers]

@sowmimca09 Pretty much any new computing applicatin can now be developed in the cloud using a PaaS or IaaS provider, or evne some SaaS tools, such as Zoho Creator. Look at my "The Three Ways to Cloud Compute" video for more, and also my ExplainingComputers website.

Very good video. May also be appropriate to cover web-based disk backup services (Mozy, Carbonite, IDrive, the upcoming? Gdrive, etc...) It's getting a bit confusing as to the safest most cost effective method to store data -- esp. for the neophyte or "appliance" PC user.

Thanks for this and including the useful list of online storage options. It is always difficult for me to know how much to cover! I saw this video as being about working with very large amounts of data, which at present are difficult to handle online -- though I guess we "archive" our videos on YouTube?! :-) I'll be doing more videos on various aspects of storage soon, as it is a major issue.

I've loved the videos you've made. I just had a comment about the last transition. It reads "Life Sentense", but should read "Life Sentence".

what about the cloud?

[blackcountryme]

This is good stuff, i am now adding these vids so people don't ask me all the time :D

Sorry dude but i never got paid for my computer knowledge, it was just assumed that i would fix manky old comps and drives and virus hunting. oh well I`m never gonna get rusty, never any rest either : /

Still as the green grocer says "no peas for the wicked"

Thanks for your most welcome reply and for all your hard work producing these great videos. After a bit of review on current web offerings, I recently decided to go with Amazons S3 cloud data storage ($0.15 USD/GB) with the "Jungle Disk" front end ($2 USD/month) for my backups. Also note that many university colleges are now providing cloud drives for students (both private and shared) along with the campus e-mail service - for example Microsoft's cloud drive. Thanks again.
