Hi all,

Is the book “Julia for Data Science” by @davidanthoff (“[Julia for Data Science · Julia for Data Science](http://www.david-anthoff.com/jl4ds/stable/)”) being worked on?  
As a newcomer it would be a game changer, the same way the book “R for Data Science” was for the R community.

Cheers!

I am looking forward to it, too. but it seems the progress is limited till now.

The best and most polished data science in Julia tutorial is @ablaom @tlienart:

The resources provided by @davidanthoff and the QueryVerse.jl ecosystem are oriented to data wrangling and some exploratory data analysis. The Data Science Tutorials are more oriented to machine learning. But there is some overlap.

A recent JuliaCon 3 hour workshop reworks some of the material in the Data Science Tutorials and that might be worth checking out: [https://github.com/ablaom/MachineLearningInJulia2020](https://github.com/ablaom/MachineLearningInJulia2020) (resources) [JuliaCon 2020 | MLJ: A Machine Learning Toolbox for Julia - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=27&v=qSWbCn170HU&feature=emb_title) (video).

It looks pretty good, thanks for sharing.
