By Ritika Trikha - February 18th, 2015
Tech News

Looking to brush up your skills in data science? As one of the most coveted and in-demand skills today, learning how to format, manage and analyze overwhelming heaps of data offers a huge payoff.

Jobs in Big Data are in high demand and value as "data mining" was named among the most sought after jobs in 2014, according to LinkedIn.

For a quick breakdown of why data science is in such high demand and the biggest misconception of data science from top data scientists themselves, read this piece!

If you're looking to sharpen your skills in data science, look no further! Here's a list of the essential resources for top data scientists.

1. Kaggle 

Kaggle is for data scientists who are already well-versed in data science and machine learning algorithms.  It's the resource that keeps on giving. The site features awesome data science skill competitions, like the National Data Science Bowl.  It's completely free to enter for data scientists. Businesses actually sponsor data problems to find the best data scientist that enters the competition.

They even have a Wiki that offers resources for data science and machine learning.

Plus, check out "No free hunch" blog for regular "how I did it" posts to help you brush up on your challenge skills.

2. John Foreman

The chief data scientist at MailChimp.com, a popular email subscription service company, shares his insight fairly regularly on his personal blog. He delves into timely topics, like Why OKCupid Isn't Facebook and how data science can survive the current "speed of hype."

3. FastML 

The "ML" stands for "machine learning." This blog offers ideas, insights and techniques about the most intriguing machine learning solutions. Its most popular posts include: "Deep learning made easy" and "The secret of the big guys."

4. Revolutions Analytics

This is specifically for keeping up with R programming language for big data analysis and data science in general. It offers some valuable tools, like "An R Tutorial for Microsoft Excel Users."

5. Geeking with Greg

Greg Linden is the brains behind the Amazon.com recommendation engine! He's a startup fiend as the founder of Geeky Ventures.

His blog isn't specifically about data science, but offers a great resource for roundup links to the best of the best in the latest news related to data science and software. He updates just once or twice a month, so it's a great way to make sure you are in the know of the hottest news without having to check a million blogs and news sites everyday.
