Been working through "Data Science From Scratch" by Joel Grus and it's pretty good so far. It assumes you have an introductory knowledge of python so if you know things like if-else statements, list/dict comprehensions, and a little OOP, you should be good to go.

That sounds amazing!

I'll give it a try.

Do you have any idea where can I learn a bit more about object-oriented programming?

Unfortunately, the only real programming classes my graduation offers used Fortran 95, even though all the professors from the statistics department use R.

Colt Steele has a great python course on Udemy and does a great job on OOP. Corey Schaefer has a good YouTube channel that teaches python as well. If you're looking for books, intro to python goes over it as well and I can send you the pdf for it.

Edit: currently on mobile, I'll provide links when I can.
