I used the book in a class taught by one of the author's J. Saltz. The book builds on basic concepts about working with information, and adds tools and concepts. By the end, as promised, the reader is able to perform introductory data science on approachable datasets.
This is a nicely written book for beginners who want to learn about data science. When I say beginners I mean a smart high school upperclassman. The writing is not mathematically challenging and the examples are easy to follow. That said, the content left me scratching my head. The problem was not that the writing was bad or the topics were hard but rather I don't know why the authors included it. For example, early on the authors talk about binary representation. That is sorta-kinda useful but not as a core feature for a data scientist. Other oddities include the coverage of the central limit theorem and law of large numbers. I teach university level data science and biostatistics and I thought the explanation was nicely done but again I found myself thinking why are they taking the space to cover this as the core part of a book on data science. There are many interesting chapters (like the coverage of database connections and shiny) but so much of the material is barely an appetizer not even a light snack. While it is good to make beginners aware of things that can be done, the reader is only able to break the surface of some very deep waters.The code is not bad but it could be better. The typesetting on the code blocks could use work. The large font makes it easy to read but the way it wraps makes it rough to study and it causes it to not really conform to the popular R styles (like Google's). The choice of R packages is okay but it could be better. In particular, *many* data scientists work extensively with the tidyverse packages and they do data manipulation using dplyr. While bits of the tidyverse are presented it does not get enough attention and the lack of dplyr support is a very bad oversight. Basically the code looks closer to 2014/2015 then 2017/2018.If you are a reader starting from zero then this is not a bad buy but if you have any data manipulation experience start with R for Data Science: Import, Tidy, Transform, Visualize, and Model Data. It is superb and free on the web.
I've read four Data Science books this year, and this is my favorite so far. I particularly enjoy that each chapter starts with a brief philosophical lesson, story and then ties them together thematically with the lesson (Saltz may have invented the Harold of technical writing).R is a bit of a mixed bag. If you're not a programmer, you'll probably love it. If you are, well my internal dialog went something like, "@*#(&*$KHUSDFKJ@!!!! Another 'language' to learn!" Luckily, R is more of an overgrown statistical package than an actual language.This book is short, precise and to the point, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
This is definitely an intro book - it's not poorly written but also not the best on the subject.It uses R, which is an open-source, free statistical software - which is great - but R has some nuances that can be difficult to pick up, and those are not really covered here. As a practicing erstwhile data scientist, it's really hard to leave out statistics from the work (without fully understanding the data, the biases in the data collection and reporting, what's missing and what's an outlier: valid or not?) people can make some really misleading and wrong conclusions while exploring data in the name of "data science." So it would be good for some practical tips of how to approach new datasets for exploration, recognizing that not all datasets are going to be cleaned and curated for the data scientist. Having recently mentored a student who didn't know how to recode variables, that's a key component that should also be covered. It would improve also by following some of the O'Reilly format approaches for presenting code in a textbook.So expect to dip toes into the water but this book is very solidly in the shallow end of data understanding, exploration, and data science.
