I'm sorry to hear that. What are you going to do to pass the time while you are laid off?

I’ve been trying out various EdX classes on data science. Any suggestions?

Consider the free PDF of Chollet's "Deep Learning with Python" and/or www.fast.ai

Noooooooooo....

I don't really have anything against Chollets book, but introduction to statistical learning is an absolutely fantastic introduction to the modelling part of data science.

Start there to get better intuitions, then practice practice practice.

It helps if you try to get data to answer your own questions, as there's a lot more motivation in doing that rather than Iris or MNIST.
