What are the best learning sites for Python?
I have been programming in Python since 8 years now and in this answer I will try to share my experience. Edit: TLDR: 1. Learn Python Basics from : Welcome to Python.org [ https://www.python.org/doc/ ] 2. Best resource to learn as per me: The Complete Python Masterclass: Learn Python From Scratch [ https://www.udemy.com/python-masterclass-course/?couponCode=PYNEWQ ]. Here are the course content along with the section durations: 1. Final step: Build projects on your own. More than 100+ project ideas are listed below in the answer. The most common mistake a newbie programmer makes is to start learning some programming language without any specific purpose or goal in mind. Before you start learning Python or any programming language for that matter, you should have a certain goal in mind. You should question yourself “Why exactly do I want to learn Python?” For example you might want to be a data scientist or you just want to design web apps or build APIs. Once you have decided your main goal learning becomes much easier, efficient and faster. Now lets get to the actual answer: Python basics: If you are completely new to python then its important to know the basic syntax. Here are a few basic concepts which you should be aware of: 1. Variables, Strings and accepting user input. 2. Control structure in python such as if-else statement. 3. Loops: For and while loops. 4. Functions and modules, built-in functions like Range. 5. Exception handling . 6. File handling. Important topics: Once the basics are taken care of, you can move to other important topics which are listed below. Note that these topics are the most widely used and special attention should be paid to these: 1. Object oriented programming. (Useful while using Python Framework like Django). 2. List, Tuples & Dictionaries. (Useful in data analysis). 3. List comprehension. 4. Map and filter. 5. Lambda functions. 6. Regular expressions (One of the superpowers of Python and widely used in Django). Now once you are done with above basics, lets proceed to some interesting python frameworks and libraries. For building GUI apps: 1. Tkinter. 2. PyQt. Build dynamic web based application: 1. Django( One of my favourites) 2. Flask. Data analysis: 1. Pandas. 2. Numpy. Web crawling: 1. Beautiful soup. 2. Scrapy. Which learning resources do I recommend? Honestly, I would prefer a learning resource which suits your style. For me I would prefer learning via official Python documentation for Python basics. Here is a link to the docs: Welcome to Python.org [ https://www.python.org/doc/ ] If you want a one-stop solution to all of your Python needs then I would recommend this course: The Complete Python Masterclass: Learn Python From Scratch [ https://www.udemy.com/python-masterclass-course/?couponCode=PYTHONEWQ ] . I have listed this course because it delivers what is promised. It covers Python basics, Object oriented programming, Tkinter, Flask, Web-scraping, Data analysis using Numpy and Pandas and also has some projects to build some cool applications. Next steps: Once you have completed the above topics to a level that you are comfortable to work with, then you can start building your own projects. One interesting thing about Python is that there is a lot you can do with Python. Note: Here are a few project ideas listed below which you can try, I will try to keep the list updated: Numbers Find PI to the Nth Digit - Enter a number and have the program generate PI up to that many decimal places. Keep a limit to how far the program will go. Find e to the Nth Digit - Just like the previous problem, but with e instead of PI. Enter a number and have the program generate e up to that many decimal places. Keep a limit to how far the program will go. Fibonacci Sequence - Enter a number and have the program generate the Fibonacci sequence to that number or to the Nth number. Prime Factorization - Have the user enter a number and find all Prime Factors (if there are any) and display them. Next Prime Number - Have the program find prime numbers until the user chooses to stop asking for the next one. Find Cost of Tile to Cover W x H Floor - Calculate the total cost of tile it would take to cover a floor plan of width and height, using a cost entered by the user. Mortgage Calculator - Calculate the monthly payments of a fixed term mortgage over given Nth terms at a given interest rate. Also figure out how long it will take the user to pay back the loan. For added complexity, add an option for users to select the compounding interval (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, Continually). Change Return Program - The user enters a cost and then the amount of money given. The program will figure out the change and the number of quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies needed for the change. Binary to Decimal and Back Converter - Develop a converter to convert a decimal number to binary or a binary number to its decimal equivalent. Calculator - A simple calculator to do basic operators. Make it a scientific calculator for added complexity. Unit Converter (temp, currency, volume, mass and more) - Converts various units between one another. The user enters the type of unit being entered, the type of unit they want to convert to and then the value. The program will then make the conversion. Alarm Clock - A simple clock where it plays a sound after X number of minutes/seconds or at a particular time. Distance Between Two Cities - Calculates the distance between two cities and allows the user to specify a unit of distance. This program may require finding coordinates for the cities like latitude and longitude. Credit Card Validator - Takes in a credit card number from a common credit card vendor (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discoverer) and validates it to make sure that it is a valid number (look into how credit cards use a checksum). Tax Calculator - Asks the user to enter a cost and either a country or state tax. It then returns the tax plus the total cost with tax. Factorial Finder - The Factorial of a positive integer, n, is defined as the product of the sequence n, n-1, n-2, ...1 and the factorial of zero, 0, is defined as being 1. Solve this using both loops and recursion. Complex Number Algebra - Show addition, multiplication, negation, and inversion of complex numbers in separate functions. (Subtraction and division operations can be made with pairs of these operations.) Print the results for each operation tested. Happy Numbers - A happy number is defined by the following process. Starting with any positive integer, replace the number by the sum of the squares of its digits, and repeat the process until the number equals 1 (where it will stay), or it loops endlessly in a cycle which does not include 1. Those numbers for which this process ends in 1 are happy numbers, while those that do not end in 1 are unhappy numbers. Display an example of your output here. Find first 8 happy numbers. Number Names - Show how to spell out a number in English. You can use a preexisting implementation or roll your own, but you should support inputs up to at least one million (or the maximum value of your language's default bounded integer type, if that's less). Optional: Support for inputs other than positive integers (like zero, negative integers, and floating-point numbers). Coin Flip Simulation - Write some code that simulates flipping a single coin however many times the user decides. The code should record the outcomes and count the number of tails and heads. Limit Calculator - Ask the user to enter f(x) and the limit value, then return the value of the limit statement Optional: Make the calculator capable of supporting infinite limits. Fast Exponentiation - Ask the user to enter 2 integers a and b and output a^b (i.e. pow(a,b)) in O(lg n) time complexity. Classic Algorithms Collatz Conjecture - Start with a number n %3E 1. Find the number of steps it takes to signNow one using the following process: If n is even, divide it by 2. If n is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Sorting - Implement two types of sorting algorithms: Merge sort and bubble sort. Closest pair problem - The closest pair of points problem or closest pair problem is a problem of computational geometry: given n points in metric space, find a pair of points with the smallest distance between them. Sieve of Eratosthenes - The sieve of Eratosthenes is one of the most efficient ways to find all of the smaller primes (below 10 million or so). Graph Graph from links - Create a program that will create a graph or network from a series of links. Eulerian Path - Create a program which will take as an input a graph and output either a Eulerian path or a Eulerian cycle, or state that it is not possible. A Eulerian Path starts at one node and traverses every edge of a graph through every node and finishes at another node. A Eulerian cycle is a eulerian Path that starts and finishes at the same node. Connected Graph - Create a program which takes a graph as an input and outputs whether every node is connected or not. Dijkstra’s Algorithm - Create a program that finds the shortest path through a graph using its edges. Minimum Spanning Tree - Create a program which takes a connected, undirected graph with weights and outputs the minimum spanning tree of the graph i.e., a subgraph that is a tree, contains all the vertices, and the sum of its weights is the least possible. Data Structures Inverted index - An Inverted Index is a data structure used to create full text search. Given a set of text files, implement a program to create an inverted index. Also create a user interface to do a search using that inverted index which returns a list of files that contain the query term / terms. The search index can be in memory. Text Fizz Buzz - Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”. Reverse a String - Enter a string and the program will reverse it and print it out. Pig Latin - Pig Latin is a game of alterations played on the English language game. To create the Pig Latin form of an English word the initial consonant sound is transposed to the end of the word and an ay is affixed (Ex.: "banana" would yield anana-bay). Read Wikipedia for more information on rules. Count Vowels - Enter a string and the program counts the number of vowels in the text. For added complexity have it report a sum of each vowel found. Check if Palindrome - Checks if the string entered by the user is a palindrome. That is that it reads the same forwards as backwards like “racecar” Count Words in a String - Counts the number of individual words in a string. For added complexity read these strings in from a text file and generate a summary. Text Editor - Notepad style application that can open, edit, and save text documents. Optional: Add syntax highlighting and other features. RSS Feed Creator - Given a link to RSS/Atom Feed, get all posts and display them. Quote Tracker (market symbols etc) - A program which can go out and check the current value of stocks for a list of symbols entered by the user. The user can set how often the stocks are checked. For CLI, show whether the stock has moved up or down. Optional: If GUI, the program can show green up and red down arrows to show which direction the stock value has moved. Guestbook / Journal - A simple application that allows people to add comments or write journal entries. It can allow comments or not and timestamps for all entries.

Bandwidth Monitor - A small utility program that tracks how much data you have uploaded and downloaded from the net during the course of your current online session. See if you can find out what periods of the day you use more and less and generate a report or graph that shows it. Port Scanner - Enter an IP address and a port range where the program will then attempt to find open ports on the given computer by connecting to each of them. On any successful connections mark the port as open. Mail Checker (POP3 / IMAP) - The user enters various account information include web server and IP, protocol type (POP3 or IMAP) and the application will check for email at a given interval. Country from IP Lookup - Enter an IP address and find the country that IP is registered in. Optional: Find the Ip automatically. Whois Search Tool - Enter an IP or host address and have it look it up through whois and return the results to you. Site Checker with Time Scheduling - An application that attempts to connect to a website or server every so many minutes or a given time and check if it is up. If it is down, it will notify you by email or by posting a notice on screen. Classes Product Inventory Project - Create an application which manages an inventory of products. Create a product class which has a price, id, and quantity on hand. Then create an inventory class which keeps track of various products and can sum up the inventory value. Airline / Hotel Reservation System - Create a reservation system which books airline seats or hotel rooms. It charges various rates for particular sections of the plane or hotel.

Generates a sales reports based on the order/order details tables or sums up the days current database activity. Event Scheduler and Calendar - Make an application which allows the user to enter a date and time of an event, event notes and then schedule those events on a calendar. The user can then browse the calendar or search the calendar for specific events. Optional: Allow the application to create re-occurrence events that reoccur every day, week, month, year etc. Budget Tracker - Write an application that keeps track of a household’s budget. The user can add expenses, income, and recurring costs to find out how much they are saving or losing over a period of time. Optional: Allow the user to specify a date range and see the net flow of money in and out of the house budget for that time period. TV Show Tracker - Got a favorite show you don’t want to miss? Don’t have a PVR or want to be able to find the show to then PVR it later?

Watermarking Application - Have some pictures you want copyright protected? Add your own logo or text lightly across the background so that no one can simply steal your graphics off your site. Make a program that will add this watermark to the picture. Optional: Use threading to process multiple images simultaneously. Turtle Graphics - This is a common project where you create a floor of 20 x 20 squares. Using various commands you tell a turtle to draw a line on the floor. You have move forward, left or right, lift or drop pen etc. Do a search online for "Turtle Graphics" for more information. Optional: Allow the program to read in the list of commands from a file. GIF Creator A program that puts together multiple images (PNGs, JPGs, TIFFs) to make a smooth GIF that can be exported. Optional: Make the program convert small video files to GIFs as well. Security Caesar cipher - Implement a Caesar cipher, both encoding and decoding. The key is an integer from 1 to 25. This cipher rotates the letters of the alphabet (A to Z). The encoding replaces each letter with the 1st to 25th next letter in the alphabet (wrapping Z to A). So key 2 encrypts "HI" to "JK", but key 20 encrypts "HI" to "BC". This simple "monoalphabetic substitution cipher" provides almost no security, because an attacker who has the encoded message can either use frequency analysis to guess the key, or just try all 25 keys. I hope this helps.

How did you go about getting featured on TechCrunch?
Here you go - right from the (rather shouty) horse's mouth. Can you sense the frustration ;) - This comes from Mike Butcher's blog and details how he (editor at large at techcrunch) suggests you deal with this. Not tried this approach so please let me know if it works??? Good luck."I’m UTTERLY SICK and TIRED of dealing with MILLIONS of tech entrepreneurs (these days there are a HELL of a lot of you) and (some) PR people who have ZERO clue how to pitch me/TechCrunch/the media. Their pitches are long-winded and rambling. They ask if they could ‘send some more information’, as if I care. I have no idea if it’s interesting or not until you send it! Many just ask me out to lunch or coffee. (Thanks, but I prefer drinks, and I also prefer drinks with my *actual friends* — fine if you have somehow become someone I like to drink with!). You see, if I took all these offers up I’d never have to pay for food or coffee again. (Here are a few ideas about why asking for lunch/coffee isn’t a great idea). But I’d also never get any work done. Yes, it is always better to try and form a working relationship with a journalist before pitching them an idea you think they might want to look into. It is always better to RESEARCH what the journalist generally writes about and who their title is aimed at. But you are not going to get your ‘foot in the door’ unless your first interactions are concise and to the point.In the main all the below applies much more to new startups who have no clue how to approach the media but, incredibly, I still get some PR people who can’t cover off these basic questions in their opening gambit. In either case, their opening lines are often a short email which amounts to “Hi, we exist. Can we have a post on Techcrunch now?” This, of course is utterly stupid.The most solid pitches come when the startup relates what they do to a CURRENT news story of the day. For instance, say Apple just came out with a new kind of headphone, and your startup has a product relevant to music or headphones. THAT is when you should jump all over the media – while your story is current and you can get into the tail-wind of a hot story. Not 6 months later when we’ve all moved on and forgotten about headphones.Many opening gambits are very simplistic emails which don’t answer basic questions. Many even say (WHY?!) “Can I send you a press release?”.Are you kidding me? Are you really kidding me?I am now going to have to waste 10 seconds of my life replying to you with something like “Hey, so I have no idea if you should send me your press release or not because you know what’s in it and I don’t. So OK, sure, knock yourself out. Join the party in my inbox.”(BTW you should read this piece on why your follow-up emails usually don’t work).You are going to save us all time — and visits to psychiatrists — by simply addressing some basic questions FIRST.Mostly, ‘press releases’ are written in the way a PR’s client would write a news story. They are usually pretty rambling and designed to please the client (read: stroke their ego) rather than assist the journalist to get shit done, and fast. So, I think the press release format is DEAD.Instead, I have come up with a checklist of things you need to cover off at the opening pitch, before the process of further questions happens. I have EVEN (wow, I’m so helpful aren’t I?) prescribed the number of sentences you should use. Now, the eagle-eyed among you will realise that this is just a rough guide. If you can tell me why your company rocks in one sentence then great. Sure, 3 is fine. But if you have to do it in 50, then, I’m sorry, but you may have a problem understanding and communicating exactly what it is that you do.Are you going to have to send me 70+ sentences? No. But you MUST at least try to address as many of these questions as possible. Putting it into an easy to digest format, so that the journalist can make a quick decision about whether to start talking to you or not, can be helpful. If this is not your style, then fine. Try something else. Write War And Peace. But I’m just trying to tell you that this is potentially going to save you and the journalist a lot of time. Time is a big deal in the media business…Sure, granted, the final resulting article might well go into fine detail about what it is you do. It might even be a pretty long article. That’s for the journalist to decide. But if your FIRST interactions with the media is something akin to a chapter of War And Peace, then you have a problem. As I like to say, “50% of being a startup is about communication”. If you are trying to ‘change the world’, then you are going to have to communicate that.In the first instance, before pitching what you THINK is news, you MUST make sure it actually IS news (like NEW, ‘never been published before’ new!) and follow this format. Savvy PR people will sign off the traditional press release (this product is the world’s leading yadda yadda) with the client but STILL use the below format AS WELL to ASSIST the journalist.And PLEASE go read my slides and watch the video I have been using to educate startups for the last few years.Meanwhile, I intend to write less news anyway, and concentrate more on opinion pieces and video.Some tips: All TechCrunch writers can be emailed on Tips@TechCrunch.com (very high traffic, but it is read). And all European writers can be email on EuroNews [@] TechCrunchIf you just want me, I’m on mike [ @ ] TechCrunchA note on Subject lines and opening sentences: Subject lines should read like headlines: “Catty, the Uber-for-Cats, Raises A $20M Seed Round” (LOL!). Opening sentence should NOT Read: “Hi Mike, How are you? It’s hot in London huh?”. It should read: “Mike, With the news that Uber has expanded into on-demand Cat Delivery, I bring you a startup that is going to BLOW those guys out of the water and this is EXCLUSIVE for you.”A final word:A lot of this may sound incredibly arrogant. Perhaps it is.I don’t dig coal for a living and the Taliban doesn’t shoot at me as part of my job. I’m lucky.But Journalists have to parse a lot of information quickly now. It helps the sender out if they are told, in black and white, the best way to get noticed and maybe even read. That’s what this exercise was about.Thanks!P.S.FURTHER NOTES, POST PUBLICATION:[1]. Should you pitch via a tweet? e.g. “@mikebutcher Hello Mike, Just read Press Release Is Dead & thought you’d appreciate our startup app. We have users & can monetize. DM?” ANSWER: Exactly how much information can you get into this? Can you answer any of the questions below adequately? What do you think…? Here’s a better idea: Answer the below questions in a targeted email to the journalist, then @ reply to them on Twitter and say something pithy like : “Cat.ty is the uber for cat delivery, emailed you just now”. Get the idea?[2]. Never, ever, EVER contact a journalist and ask them to “Tweet out our startup”. Or anything similar. I get startups asking me to ‘upvote’ them on Product Hunt, or Re-Tweet their tweets. This is just plain insulting. We’re not here to be your free PR machines, EVEN if the person asking might be a friend. Have some professionalism. Do your own marketing. If a journalist, in a personal capacity, feels like Tweeting about a product they like then fine, they can do that. But they are not there to be asked to pimp products. They have real work to do besides anything else.[3]. If you have given a journalist an exclusive and somehow some other journalist gets hold of the story and publishes before the story was supposed to come out then do this: IMMEDIATELY tell the first journalist (the one you gave the story to) that the story has broken. Do it NOW. DO NOT WAIT until the time you agreed for publication and DO NOT wait for the first journalist to find out from someone/somewhere else that the story they have been SLAVING OVER has already broken. Why do this? Well, if the journalist you gave a story to now knows the story is out, they can rush to get their story out. You will have done them a great service. They will like you and think you are professional. But you must also explain how you think the story came out, such as the OTHER journalist turned out to be so good they found it on their own. But, getting back to your friendly journalist MAY also mean a much more favourable version (to you) of the story getting out faster. If you do not do this, then the first journalist will NEVER trust you to work with them again. But they won’t tell you. They will just think you are a piece of shit. You won’t even know it. And if you gave the story to more than one journalist and told ALL of them they ‘had the exclusive’ then perhaps think about changing your identity and moving countries.[4] If you want to be dismembered by a former journalist who is now wanted for murder (yours), pitch them a story which already broke a month ago as if it’s “new”. Don’t tell them the product has already been written up. Then wait, as they simply Google the product’s name only to find Wired/The Times etc had it some time ago, and the ‘new’ angle you are pitching is that you opened an office in Belize, staffed by one guy and a donkey. Granted, the donkey was previously with HP. [Translation: Don’t pitch old stories as if they are new].[5] A good way to stop a journalist from coming to your launch event (or any event) is to send them an invite in a pretty looking graphic which is basically impossible to extract information from or put into a calendar. This is really, really, dumb. At worst, send the information in plain text, so they can copy and past it it in their diary (impossible with a graphic). If you want to be REALLY smart, send them a *calendar invite* with all the relevant info in the notes section. Then all they have to do is click a Yes button and you are more likely to get them to come.[6] Its generally not considered acceptable to offer an exclusive to more than one journalist. But what if they don’t respond? How much time would you consider legit to offer it to someone else? This depends. You would obviously have to give them a “reasonable” amount of time to respond. The decision also greatly depends on the journalist and what their normal ‘MO’ is and how important their outlet is to your strategy. I, for instance, am often on planes and between flights. But a lot of people wait for me to land and give them a yay or nay because TechCrunch is a big outlet…[7] I can also recommend a less ranty post on this subject here.———————————————————————–Dear StartupI’m no longer accepting pitches which don’t ‘get to the point’.

What are the best online quiz tools for business?
This is an example of what a Qzzr quiz looks like, embedded on Trulia. Here's the breakdown of quiz creators:Qzzr- Hands down, the best quiz creation experience out of any alternative. The creation process is easy, and your quiz will look great on any device. Best of all- it's 100% free. For publishers and brands wanting to generate leads and revenue from their quizzes, Qzzr has the functionality to add lead gen forms and click-through offers. Of course, you have to have a paid plan for that functionality. The other advantage is Qzzr also has a quiz network full of thousands of quizzes and a large community of users that take quizzes daily.This is what a lead gen form looks like on a quiz using Qzzr2. Playbuzz- This website is mostly known for their quiz community- it's huge. It's free to create a quiz, but it lacks the functionality for a business to use. Additionally, the design is extremely basic and can look cheap to many users.3, Interact- Although you get a 7 day free trial with their plans, Interact is not free. Their tool allows you to collect emails, but in my opinion, the design looks very basic.Disclaimer: I work at Qzzr.

How can I learn big data analysis online?
There are many different sources to learn Big Data.Keep in mind though that ‘Big Data’ is a buzzword that embraces a lot of things. Basically, Big Data can be defined as the computational analysis of extremely large datasets in order to reveal patterns, trends, and associations. It includes Data Science, Data Analysis, Data Engineering, Cloud Computing, but also Machine Learning and Deep Learning.Resources you should use to learn Big Data Analysis depend on what your current level on these topics is, and whether you’re looking for free or paid resources.UDACITYUdacity offers individual courses as well as complete programs. You can complete most of them for free, and you’ll get extras (coaching, nanodegree certificate, support to job search) if you go for the paid offer. If you can’t see the courses list on the nanodegree page (it seems like the Data Analyst nanodegree has been modified very recently), just check their catalog. They have courses ranging from pure maths / stats to pandas and MongoDB courses.Courses are accessible for free, you can opt for a Nanodegree for $199 / month, and get a job or refund guarantee with the Plus formula for $299 / month.Data Analyst NanodegreeMachine Learning Engineer NanodegreeDATACAMPDataCamp is an excellent cursus as a complement to Udacity. They have courses in Python, R, and are starting to publish SQL courses as well. Each course is taught by an industry expert. You’ll get hands on practice and dive deeper into specific technologies used for Big Data Analysis (Manipulating DataFrames, Plotting with matplotlib etc). They also have shorter, blog post tutorials. They are the author of the Periodic Table of Data Science at the beginning of this post (the PDF version with hyperlinks is here), and they also did this great infographic on how to become a Data Scientist.You can practice all the first chapters for all of their courses for free. I’m not sure if they still do it, but you should have complete access for a few days if you sign in with this invite link. Then it’s $29 / month, or $25 / month if you choose a yearly subscription (pricing details here). They had 50% off offers for Black Friday and Christmas, if you want to wait that long.These are my two main resources for learning, and they’re already quite complete. There are a few others though:DATAQUESTDataQuest is an awesome resource. If DataCamp teaches you how to use different technologies in detail, DataQuest explains you how to apply them to complete analysis. The way I see it is this way: you learn the skills on DataCamp, and build your portfolio with DataQuest. They have three paths: Data Analyst, Data Engineer and Data Scientist). They also have shorter, blog post tutorials.They offer a free tier with an access to 22 missions. The paid tier is $29 / month for the basic formula (giving access to the Data Analyst path projects to build your portfolio), and $49 / month for the premium tier (giving access to all paths and office hours call). They also have a team offer (pricing details here)COGNITIVE CLASSCognitive Class (previously called Big Data University) is IBM’s initiative on the topic. Their catalog is quite complete and they have six learning paths. It’s completely free.DATA SCIENCE LEARNING CLUBThe Data Science Learning Club is an initiative by Renee Teate, the awesome lady between the Becoming A Data Scientist podcast. This is a guided track into the Data Science journey, and a great way to build a portfolio. Although I’m a listener of the podcast, I haven’t used the Club yet, but I plan to do so to polish my skills and build up my portfolio.OPEN SOURCE DATA SCIENCE MASTERSThe Open Source Data Science Masters is a complete Data Science track put together by Clare Corthell, gathering both free and paid resources for a complete education on the topic (each specific topic has a free offer, and some books are recommended but in no way mandatory).PACKT PUBPackt Pub is a publication company specialized in technical books and videos. They have a lot of resources on Data Analysis, Database Management, etc. They have a great habit of offering one book a day, but since they publish about all kind of development (web, security, IoT, Raspberry Pi…), it won’t always be Big Data related. Book prices are regular technical book prices, but you can also opt for a $29 / month Mapt subscription giving you access to all books and all videos, online (pricing details here)There are other platforms like General Assembly, and then you have the usual platforms like Coursera and edX, where courses are free and you pay for a certificate (Andrew Ng’s course on Machine Learning is iconic in the field, if your maths and stats basis are solid already). You can also check Udemy, where you will find both free and paid courses.If you want to improve your maths and stats knowledge, you should definitely consider Salman Khan’s Khan Academy math track, which is amazing. For stats, you can also check OpenIntro Statistics and OnlineStatBook (the iBook version is awesome). All are free.Blogs and online publications such as KDnuggets or Data Science Central are also a good source for tutorials.If you want regular tutorials and cheatsheets on this topic and general Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence resources, you can also follow the Captain Data twitter account.Then you have other, more pricey options: there are a lot of bootcamps offered that you can follow online if you can / want to afford them, as well as degrees by universities that you can complete online. I haven’t used any so I can’t give valuable feedback on that, but a quick search on Google will answer any questions you may have on this topic.I hope this helps. I will probably edit this answer if I think of / recall / discover other sources in the future.
