I see a lot of data scientist struggling to locate themselves in these projects, so I decided to write here a few very useful and basic Linux/POSIX compliant commands that every data scientist/engineer/programmer should know (imho).   First remember that you can always type $ man command                                                                                                   ...

Top 5 Best Data Science and Machine Learning Courses

New Data Science enthusiasts usually wonder what are the what are the best resources to best master this area. I am a huge fan of online courses (specially if they are free 😆) and decided to share my top 5 favorite ones.
