This weeks Data Science Book is " Fundamentals of Data Engineering " by J. Reis and M. Housley. While our focus is on Data Science, we can't downplay the major role played by Data Engineering in practical Data projects. In this recent tome, the authors guide us through the thought processes, concepts and principles necessary to establish a successful Data Engineering operation to help support all of your data driven projects. They recommend a cloud first approach that allows for quick experimentation, adaptation and scaling.
