Kaggle
A great site for learning about data science is
Kaggle. Kaggle acts as a meeting point between data scientists and uses competitions supplied by 3rd parties such as companies, public bodies and so on. Some competitions have prizes, some are serious and some are just for fun. It's a great way of trying some data science coding techniques while having fun and doing good at the same time. Current competitions include: classifying photos for Yelp, finding network disruptions for Telstra in Australia and discovering what is going on in Hilary Clinton's emails!
