Open-Source Data Science Curriculum

Well done! As a data scientist, I can say that your curriculum is spot on. And I also think you're taking the right approach building/hacking/doing rather than going to an…

Thanks for putting these resources together, this is amazing

This is fantastic. Addresses my concern about not being quite up to par in my math education. Combining the two of these is exactly what I'm looking for.

i like this. good job.

I'm biased as a non-technical analyst with an academic history, but I'm concerned that the curriculum doesn't meet the most basic needs. Quoting the section 'An Academic…

I feel like lists of resources are OK, but with something like data science, which has its own branches and specialities, it would be good to have some kind of stack ranking of…

I think the list is more helpful for someone a step or two beyond beginner. A true beginner is going to look at that and be scared. Once they've read a few introductory things,…

It would be nice to have a clear list of assumed capabilities (for example, I am familiar with basic programming and have built a few websites, but I haven't taken a math class…

Sure, you can learn to use a technology and still be braindead or poor at analysis. This is an applied curriculum with a focus on specific technologies that enable an…

Is the best approach to just go straight down the list? Or should I do the first required course in each before moving on to the next?

I do a lot of statistical work, but wouldn't call myself a data scientist. To that end: > I geared the original curriculum toward Python tools and resources, so I've explicitly…

thanks. this is a good resource :) I've explored most of these courses on Coursera over the last year before finally deciding to go to grad school. For me, the biggest factor was…

for the first course Intro to Data Science, the only access you will have are the videos. You can't see other resources like homeworks and other stuff. What to do about this?

A resource I've found invaluable and that I can't find listed is videolectures.net Particularly http://videolectures.net/pascal/ has plenty of lectures and tutorials from their…
