Data Science Job

Finally, if you want to have an overview of what it means to be a Data Scientist, then have a look at my book Data Science Job: How to become a Data Scientist which will guide you through the process.

Intermediate Level

If you’ve already read 1 or 2 Data Science books, did 1 or 2 projects for yourself and get accustomed to working with data a little bit, here are the books which will take you further.

Python for Finance is a must read if you’re into finance and data science. It focuses on how to use data science tools to analyze financial markets and have many great examples illustrating that. It’s very practical and will also appeal to people who don’t work in finance on a daily basis.

Expert

If you’re approaching expert level, then actually reading scientific papers often makes more sense than reading books. However it is also time you study and implement deep learning in your solutions to go beyond the classical statistics. Three fantastic and now standard references are:

Deep Learning with Python was written by a creator of Keras, one of the most popular machine learning libraries in Python. The book starts gently, is very practical, gives pieces of code you can use right away and has in general many useful tips on using deep learning. An absolute must read in deep learning.
