Practical Statistics for Data Scientists

Practical Statistics for Data Scientists

This content of this book is extremely useful resource for learning and understand statistical concepts and techniques. It is great to see how Python and R codes are implemented for each concept, but only the snippet of codes are provided on many examples in the book. Fortunately, the publisher provides the whole codes by chapter. The widely used Python packages (pandas, numpy, scipy, statsmodels, sklearn, matplotlib, seaborn, and more) and R libraries can be easily located in each chapter and index.

R libraries used:

library(boot) #Bootstrap Functions
library(ca) #Simple, Multiple and Joint Correspondence Analysis

Learn Python 3 the Hard Way

Learn Python 3 the Hard Way

This book is published in 2017. The fundamentals of Python language is covered in this book. O’Reilly offers companion videos.

This book is a little outdated, but great for the beginners for grasping fundamentals. The companion video uses a text editor and Python on command line environment. It is great for learning how to use command-line arguments, but not much useful anymore since Jupyter notebook became dominant in the market.
