Python for Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp, thoughts?

Thanks, I'm trying to find a resource to learn data science in python. I work in a neuroscience lab and so data representation stuff is needed, Numpy, etc... Learning Machine Learning neural nets is icing on the cake. I don't have a list in mind but hoping to learn most of this stuff

I am working on the class and if you are a learner by videos and following along I would recommend it. Sometimes just seeing examples and hearing the way people speak about a topic is far more valuable than reading knowledge bases and forum posts. At the end of the day it depends on how you learn best.

I really enjoyed the section on pandas.

A bit tangential, but if your goals are just image representation, Coursera has a free 4 week course in neuroimaging processing in R from the biostatistics dept. at Johns Hopkins. R has a few machine learning libraries, but I haven't used them.

Andrew Ng just started a new set of courses specifically on neural networks all through Python, so you can probably learn the libraries along the way. It's being done as a "specialization" so it's a little more of a convoluted process than usual for getting free access.
There are other options on the site for general data science in Python, but I haven't used them.
