Are you a developer interested in learning how to summarize, visualize and interpret your data? Are you building a website or application that needs to be smarter in making predictions, segmenting users, or generating recommendations? Come by and meet with other developers and learn about best practices, hear about what’s new in building data-driven applications, and drink some free beer.

Join us to learn about Oracle Big Data/NoSQL and related technologies, including use cases, new features and exciting networking with other professionals.

This is an organization dedicated to supporting an intellectually challenging and creative environment for anyone working in or interested in Analytics. The goal is to create a creative hacking culture within the Analytics community where people can have fun, feel challenged, learn and support one another, and network! When this group gets to five members I will organize the first meet up.

We'll discuss different kinds of algorithms. First, we'll try to understand basic algorithms. We'll also discuss simple puzzles and brain teasers. If you are not from mathematical background, you'll find it simple and if you are from computer science, you'll find it interesting. You can also post any algorithms you want to discuss in particular. Learning Practical Applications: We'll try to understand algorithms practical applications. The challenge is not to write complex algorithms but to …

Calling all newcomers transitioning to the field of Data Mining and Visualization in South Bay. Lets get-together to code, discuss projects, and materials that can help get jump started in this new and very exciting area. Looking forward to exploring and learning more about this field with you.

A Bay Area based Hadoop user group focused on helping Hadoop users share experiences, problems and solutions, as well as learn new skills for building large-scale Hadoop-based systems.

Meet with local Machine Knitters in the San Jose area of California. Chat and discuss the art of machine knitting. All machine brand's users are welcome, such as Bond, Brother, Studio/Silver Reed, Passap, or circular sock machines. Don't have a knitting machine yet? Come along and learn about this fun hobby. Or if you have a knitting machine languishing under the bed, get it out and we'll help you to get it back in use.

The Lean Startup Machine is a weekend-long startup competition that conforms to Lean Startup principles, a method of using customer feedback to rapidly iterate your product to reach product/market fit. http://theleanstartupmachine.com/ The Lean Startup Machine SF Meetup Group is an official extension of #LSMSF 2011, created in order to keep the energy going and to support a network of people in the Bay Area who are actively working on Lean Startup principles.
