Hi Luis, I'm getting a sense of the basics through some Lynda.com video tutorials. My university has a subscription - maybe yours would as well? Alternatively, many public libraries have subscriptions too. The helpful piece about having access to a subscription is using the exercise files associated with some of the tutorials. Hope that helps, Jennifer On Fri, Apr 21, 2017 at 1:20 PM Luis Hestres <Luis.Hestres@utsa.edu> wrote:

Hello everyone,

One of my perennial goals is to learn how to do big data research from scratch. Is there a comprehensive resource, such a a book or website, that walks you through all the steps if you don’t have a programming or database management background?

Thanks,

Luis

Hi Luis, You might want to check out the Open Source Society's Data Science master's curriculum. I'm planning on working my way through it this summer. https://github.com/datasciencemasters/go#the-open-source-data-science-master...
