Intermediate Flux Tutorial Course

Course Description

In this course you will take your Flux skills to the next level through a combination of real-world sample problems and video lectures. In the first section of this free course, you will learn about Flux window functions and how they can be used for aggregating data as well as creating moving averages. In the next section, you will learn about the Flux map function and how you can use it to create custom functions using conditional logic. In the third section of the course, you will learn how to join streams of data together using Flux, some real-world reasons you would want to do this, and go over some example problems to implement stream joining yourself. In the final section, you will learn about tasks and alerts and how you can use Flux to create them with InfluxDB.
