Hello,

I’m just plugging a recent video I did on how to work with the American Community Survey public-use microdata files from the U.S. Census Bureau. I show how to download the data from the Census, save to tables to be consumed by JuliaDB, how to load the data and perform computations with the Distributed package, and then how to write a function to make estimates as well as how to compute the standard error and upper/lower bounds of a confidence interval for the estimate. Hopefully, this is helpful to anyone interested in working with this dataset.

P.S. I really would like to have some people join me to do live coding/QA sessions. For example, if there are any package authors out there that would like to do some quick (30 min - 1 hour) videos with me, please reach out and let’s do it!
