Given data arising from some real-world phenomenon, how does one analyze that data so as to understand that phenomenon? The course teaches critical concepts and skills in computer programming and statistical inference, in conjunction with hands-on analysis of real-world datasets, including economic data, document collections, geographical data, and social networks. It delves into social issues surrounding data analysis such as privacy and design. + - Free textbook: [Computational and Inferential Thinking: The Foundations of Data Science](https://github.com/data-8/textbook) + - [CS 10](https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs10/fa14/) **The Beauty and Joy of Computing** *UC Berkeley* Lecture Videos Assignments Lecture Notes - CS10 is UCB's introductory computer science class, taught using the beginners' drag-and-drop language. Students learn about history, social implications, great principles, and future of computing. They also learn the joy of programming a computer using a friendly, graphical language, and will complete a substantial team programming project related to their interests. - [Snap*!*](http://snap.berkeley.edu) (based on Scratch by MIT).
