Structure

This guide is divided into folders. The "guide" part lives mostly in tutorials and guides.

• tutorials: "how to's"; step by step instructions on how to accomplish something specific (e.g. how to configure a data science environment, how to create a linear regression)
• articles: in depth descriptions of tools, concepts, models, etc. (e.g. everything you need to know about jupyter, overview of numpy, overview of scikit learn), along with quick bits about specific topics (e.g. 10 shell commands you should know)
• principles: best practices, conventions, and conduct
