*Knock knock knock* “Applicants??!!”

*Knock knock knock* “Applicants??!!”

Yes I know you’re there and waiting for my knock.

I’d like to warm welcome to everybody to “the BIG DATA theory” course!

Have you ever heard about Big Data? Haven’t you? I know you are aware about many things on this topic but we can surprise you even more. Through lectures held by Tor Vergata’s teachers and companies trainers,the working groups will be able understand how to manage fondamentals of BIG DATA,what is its main role in the society nowadays and who gets the benefits from it.

"Torture the data, and it will confess to anything." – Ronald Coase

If you wonder where all the information around us are stored or if you are always amazed how google finds all the exact information you seek, this is the right place for you.

But don’t forget Rome is one of the most ancient city in the world, where future and past get mixed in her beauty, archeological marvels,good food and a lot of sunny people around.

And remember “without Big Data,you’re blind and deaf in the middle of a freeway”

-cit. Geoffrey Moore.

Colosseo,porchetta and a fantastic Best Group are waiting for you.
