Developing Data Producst in R

by Brian Caffo

This book is written as a companion book to the Developing Data Products¹ Coursera class as part of the Data Science Specialization². However, if you do not take the class, the book mostly stands on its own. A useful component of the book is a series of YouTube videos³ that comprise the Coursera class.

The book is intended to be a low cost introduction to the important field of data products. The intended audience are students who are numerically and computationally literate, who would like to put those skills to use in Data Science. The book is offered for free as a series of markdown documents on github and in more convenient forms (epub, mobi) on LeanPub.
