Extract Data

The first truly hands-on technical phase of the data science process is actually a combination of related tasks known as extract, transform, and load (ETL). This is where you, the data science practitioner, start to mold and shape the data so that it can be as useful as possible for the later steps in the data science process. In this course, you'll go through each ETL task in order, starting with "E" (extract).
