When we discuss with our customers and our community of data analysts we always come up with a common list if go-to resources that everybody uses. Some days ago we wrote a short but awesome list of newsletters about Big Data and Data Science that you should be aware of.
Besides our own awesome Blog, in this post, I gathered some of the best blogs and websites that will prove useful for every data analyst. I tried to include blogs/sources which are up to date and not look “dead”. Additions are welcome too ☺
