Week in Review - issue 1

Two thoughts this week - perseverance and focus - which are nicely encapsulated by these two quotes:

"I don't think there is any quality so essential to success as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything" – JD Rockefeller
“Focus is saying no to 1,000 good ideas.” — Steve Jobs

Interesting article regarding pricing inefficiencies on San Fransisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit, from a Twitter Data Scientist - read it here.

An in-depth article on getting into data science from Zipfian Academy, a San Francisco based data science education outfit - read it here.

Javascript coding articles for the weekend work - I want to add interactive % labels to a bar chart I'm building for a client project:
Adding labels to charts with script in Google Spreadsheets
JS Fiddle - a really smart looking browser based coding environment

Always be Coding - a great article on being a good developer from Medium (this is way ahead of where I am but is still very inspiring):
Always be coding

Several interesting posts on data driven projects, again all from Medium (which I'm really getting a lot of value from at the moment - it's a far superior reading experience that many other tech sites out there):
The Optimal post is 7 minutes from the Data Science team at Medium
Defining your target market and finding your niche
