This is not just a link dump. These resources are carefully curated textbook stand-ins, and you are fully expected to learn from them! There are multiple types:
- Online tutorials. Watch, practice and learn. I pre-screened and narrowed down to very essential & relevant contents only, so you can stop wondering if you should learn the whole thing!
- Articles. Read them -- they will be referenced in lectures and used in classroom discussions.
- Book and book chapters. Python Data Science Handbook neatly aligns with our data science focus and doubles up as a reference book. Parts of the NLTK Book will also be referenced.
- Software installation links. Download and install on your machine.
- Bookmark pages. These are lists of useful links compiled by someone else, which often contain pointers to data sets or resources. Explore them and use them as needed; you should become familiar with what's on them.
- References -- for looking things up.
