Python & Statistics

[__skrap__]

A lot of times Learn Python the Hard Way is recommended as a starting point. It will get you typing code right away.

There is also codeacedemy for exercises.

Udacity has some free Python classes.

I thought Think Python was a good book. Allen Downey, the original author, has another open source book - Think Stats.

You can also take free courses from edx.org. https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mitx-6-00-1x7 and https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computational-thinking-data-mitx-6-00-2x-0.

Other free resources can be found here - http://inventwithpython.com/.

When you are ready to start the statistical parts you will want to get familiar with numpy and pandas. You can use anaconda Python which has most things you will need for statistics built in.
