In this course, I learned a great deal about what Big Data is and how is will affect me. Since Big Data is all around, one would need to be able to organize and analyze it in order to stay in the trend, and not get left behind. Something else to takeaway is the skill in Tableau.

I believe the most important thing to remember is to create the backup. Anything can happen within a software and we always regret it when it happens after we do a ton of modifications.
