Bayesian Methods for Hackers https://github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/Probabilistic-Programmin... is really fun. But it does not exactly teach the basics of data science.

While a really cool approach I would highly discourage a beginner to get started with this. Bayesian methods are not what most people use and the book does not teach any of the necessary basics in terms of analysis of real world data
