Question: In lieu of taking the next 3 years to do my Masters in Computer Science, can I learn everything I need in 6 months, on my own, internet in hand?

Answer? Absolutely. Now I want to share what I did.

I created the Open Source Data Science Masters, a forkable and community-owned DIY curriculum.

For me, the profession makes perfect sense — Data Science marries technical systems, human behavioral questions, and a beautiful world of mathematics and statistics.

You should do it, too!
