Book Review: The Kaggle Book/Workbook
Kaggle is an incredible resource for all data scientists. I advise my Intro to Data Science students at UCLA to take advantage of Kaggle by first completing the venerable Titanic Getting Started Prediction Challenge, and then moving on to active challenges. Kaggle is a great way to gain valuable experience with data science and machine learning. Now, there are two excellent books to lead you through the Kaggle process. The Kaggle Book by Konrad Banachewicz and Luca Massaron published in 2022, and The Kaggle Workbook by the same authors published in 2023, both from UK-based Packt Publishing, are excellent learning resources.
