Hi 👋,

Just a short update from me this month! It's been a strange month for me and I'm still playing catch up so thought I'd check in with a few old resources I've found useful!

A quick reminder if you'd like to request article topics or resources for future newsletters, there’s still time to have your say, fill in this survey here!


🔍Top resources

This month’s recommended resources from across the web and beyond!

  • Git revision histories: What do you include in your git commit messages? Do you explain the choices that were made? Check out this video to better organise your repositories.

  • ML course by Andrew Ng: I completed this course last year and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive intro to Machine Learning - you'll also find it mentioned in my article on useful resources for learning and improving your coding skills.


🚀Projects

What I’ve been up to in this month…

  • Data Analysis with pandas talk: This month I gave a talk at HER+Data MCR joint virtual event with Python NW. Dani demoed Jupyter notebooks, while Cheuk shed light on the under and dunder, some of python's hidden functions. It was a great event to be a part of and I enjoyed walking through the steps from my tutorial to showcase how to get started with pandas.


📚This month’s reading list

I’ve got several books on the go at the moment, one for every mood. Finished my first audiobook of 2020 which I loved and was super convenient when on a long train journey, I’d definitely recommend giving it a read!

#016: Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams ✭✭✭✭✩


September is set to be a quiet month, after my birthday at least!, so I hope to have some newfound tips and resources to share with you in the next edition.

Take care and see you next month!

Kerry
