MDST: “Getting Started” Resource Project Plan

May 2017 - August 2017

Description

This project aims to created a curated list, targeted primarily at users new to data science and MDST but also of interest to a broader audience, of resources related to the skills, knowledge, and tools most useful for data science projects and research. We seek to collect high-quality resources, recommended by active MDST members or faculty advisors, and to make them available publicly (hopefully on MDST website or in a public Google-doc). In addition to listing the resource and categorizing them by topic, level of difficulty, and resource type (textbook/coding tutorial/MOOC), we will also include a 1-2 sentence “testimonial” from the MDST member that recommended the resource explaining why they found it useful. This will not only add a unique MDST touch to the list, but will provide interested learners with a point of contact to discuss any resources they’re interested in or working through.
