While I have been working as a Data Scientist for a bit now, my actual job duties have not yet included what many would traditionally call Data Science. As a means to broaden my horizons, I thought it would be interesting to explore the Open Source Data Science Masters that I had read about a while ago.

It is basically a collection of self-paced tools for learning and exploring Data Science. While called a “Masters”, it is not actually associated with a degree. Just an open source alternative meant to give people a lot of the exposure to core Data Science concepts in an accessible (and free!) venue.

I made my own fork of the Github repository, so I may make a branch to track any changes, notes, results, etc. that I generate while working through it. I will also be documenting my journey here. Hopefully there will be relevant and interesting things for me to report, but at the very least it seemed like a decent place to track my progress through the program.
