Getting Started with KNIME
It's time to get our hands finally dirty with data as we unveil KNIME, the first instrument we find in our data analytics toolkit. This chapter will introduce you to the foundational features of any low-code analytics platform and will allow you to get started with the universal need you face at the beginning of every analytics project: loading and cleaning data.
Let's have a look at the questions this chapter aims to answer:
- What is KNIME and where can I get it?
- What are nodes and how do they work?
- What does a data workflow look like?
- How can I load some data in KNIME and clean it up?
This is going to be a rather hands-on initiation to the everyday practice of data analytics. Since we will spend some time with KNIME, it's worth first getting some basic background on it.
KNIME (/na�m/) is pronounced like the word knife but with an m at the end instead of an f.
