There is a vast and growing number of Data Science resources. It can be hard to find the best ones for you. It may even be hard to find the right "Roadmap for Data Science" or "Top Skills to Learn for Data Science". I don't claim to have the best resources or the correct path to a career in Data Science. What I have is a list of useful resources and if even one of them furthers your learning my goal is accomplished.

For many researchers, Python is a first-class tool mainly because of its libraries for storing, manipulating, and gaining insight from data. Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all--IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other related tools. Working scientists and data crunchers familiar with reading and writing Python code will find this comprehensive desk reference ideal for tackling day-to-day issues: manipulating, transforming, and cleaning data; visualizing different types of data; and using data to build statistical or machine learning models. Quite simply, this is the must-have reference for scientific computing in Python. With this handbook, you'll learn how to use:

The book "Python Data Science Handbook: Essential Tools for Working with Data" published by O'Reilly and written by Jake VanderPlas is available for purchase in print, as well as being offered completely Free as an online eBook.

The Python Data Science Handbook provides a reference to the breadth of computational and statistical methods that are central to data-intensive science, research, and discovery. People with a programming background who want to use Python effectively for data science tasks will learn how to face a variety of problems: e.g., how can I read this data format into my script? How can I manipulate, transform, and clean this data? How can I visualize this type of data? How can I use this data to gain insight, answer questions, or to build statistical or machine learning models?
