Ssis 02912/31/2023 KN: Because R language is like you said, more for statistical point of view, so this way it’s more often used by mathematicians. The best way to practice is to have some examples, samples and… TK: Well, one of them, both of them, many of them, it doesn’t really matter. Once you start using it, you get fluent in it, for those who want to start and learn Python or R, or both, I would definitely suggest using it and learning it by cases, examples and stuff like this. So this year I decided to do it in R, which turned out sometimes a little bit problematic, but it goes so, which means that R is a statistical programming language with more stress on statistics than in programming but yeah, I’ve been using R for quite a long time, as well as Python. TK: There is the competition called Advent of Code going on right now, so if you Google, every day you get sort of like a task you need to solve in any kind of programming language. So, about R language, could you tell our audience how to start or how difficult the R language is to learn and when you can use it, in which cases? KN: So BI but probably these days with more modern BI? In the cloud and with all the new services and also I’ve seen you speaking on the topic like Machine Learning for example, R language, that kind of things. TK: So I’m a BI developer/data scientist and I basically do a lot of stuff with machine learning, data mining, statistics, statistical analysis, and a lot of stuff with SQL, with cloud computing, Azure, stuff like that. TK: This is what we really try to keep the level up. KN: Great, and I think you are doing a great job here, hospitality is fantastic. TK: So as long as we have speakers happy and attendees happy, I think this is the best recipe. KN: The size of the conference is not as important as the quality of the sessions. Not bigger but better in terms of bringing different audience, bringing different speakers and choosing the right… So everything is really amazing and we try to improve to get better. Since I’m the last one to join, I think Mladen and Dejan, and Matija, they were the first to start this attention to details and bringing a lot of people from abroad, and now this year is just amazing. And this is something, you know, if you go abroad and if you visit all the people, get in touch with them, all the speakers, they will definitely come and sort of return the favour, come to your place. TK: We are definitely very proud of that. One of the most important during the year I think. KN: Yeah, it’s quite a local conference but it’s quite huge and very popular. At the event, yeah, all the usual stuff, so accepting the people, accepting the attendees, taking care of the speakers, we give great attention to every detail, to all of the speakers because they come from abroad and they’re tired, stuff like that, so we order this, we do this, coming a step forward closer to them, and this really helps them a lot as well. TK: So SQL Saturday Slovenia this year we have the 7th iteration, so we started in 2013, I joined in 2015 I think, so literally we are full and I was the last one to join, and we usually just have each their own task that we need to cover and that’s it. Could you tell us a little bit more about the conference itself and what is your role as the organizer? KN: Thank you very much! I know that you are one of the organizers of this conference. So this is my hometown and welcome to my hometown! TK: I live here in Ljubljana, where the venue for the SQL Saturday Slovenia is happening. TK: Yeah, Slovenian names are hard to pronounce but your pronunciation is correct. KN: It’s very hard to pronounce your name. KN: So today we are sitting at the venue during the SQL Saturday conference in Slovenia with… Just use the player directly from this site (above), find it on Spreaker, Apple Podcasts, Spotify (new!) or simply download MP3.
