Data Science Books and Courses
Learn Data Science with books, courses and blogposts.
There’s never been a better time to learn Data Science. I’m a huge fan of sharing Data Science knowledge and in this text I wanted to collect them in one single place.
Data Science Books
The choice of materials to read is vast and it might be difficult to start with something. That’s why if I were to pick only one book for a smooth start, I’d go with Data Science from Scratch. It’s an introduction to Data Science for total beginners. You don’t even have to know Python to start!
For more books, have a look at this text about Data Science books.
Alternatively, you can follow my free Data Science Crash Course here on Medium.
Data Science Courses
Having a teacher which can guide you through the process of becoming a Data Scientist can help a lot.
The most popular Data Science course right now on Coursera is definitely IBM Data Science. It is a professional certificate which is composed of 9 courses. It starts slowly by explaining what is Data Science, what methodology and tools one uses, to go into data processing and data visualization, to finally arrive at machine learning. This is a great certificate to have on your resume, whether you’re just starting or you’ve done a bit of data science already.
