Learning Resources by Topic

      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:

  1. 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!
  2. Articles. Read them -- they will be referenced in lectures and used in classroom discussions.
  3. 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.
  4. Software installation links. Download and install on your machine.
  5. 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.
  6. References -- for looking things up.
