Choosing the right technology stack can mean the difference between SUCCESS and FAILURE in data science. It can also mean the difference between ‘I Feel Productive’ and ‘Everything I try takes so much time’.

When deciding which toolkit / stack be sure to learn from others, consider implementation partners, and always remain cautious.

I am surveying people to determine which data science technology stacks are being used right now. The survey responses will remain confidential and can be accessed via this link: http://bit.ly/ToolkitSurvey (takes less than 200 seconds!).

Those that complete the survey will get a copy of a report (which will detail the pros/cons of popular data science technology stacks).

Interested to see what technology stacks others here are using.

tl;dr: Complete a Data Science technology stack survey and see what stack is popular in which industry: http://bit.ly/ToolkitSurvey
