Tools in Data Science Sep 2025 edition is live: https://tds.s-anand.net/. Major update: a new AI-Coding section and fresh projects. I teach TDS at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras as part of the BS in Data Science. Anyone can audit. The course is public. You can read the content and practice assessments. I fed the May 2025 term student feedback into The Sales Mind and asked: What are the top non-intuitive / surprising inferences? What are interesting observations? What are high impact actions? Full analysis: https://lnkd.in/gVWVqaxN: summary, outliers, and action ideas. ...

When I feel completely useless, it helps to look at nice things people have said about my work. In this case, it’s the feedback for my Tools in Data Science course last term. Here are the ones I enjoyed reading. Having a coding background, the first GA seemed really easy. So I started the course thinking that it’ll be an easy S grade course for me. Oh how wrong was I!! The sleepless nights cursing my laptop for freezing while my docker image installed huge CUDA libraries with sentence-transformers; and then finding ways to make sure it does not, and then getting rid of the library itself, it’s just one example of how I was forced to become better by finding better solutions to multiple problems. This is one of the hardest, most frustrating and the most satisfying learning experience I’ve ever had, besides learning ML from Arun sir. ...

Here’s a post I shared with the students of my Tools in Data Science course at IITM. This was in response to a student posting that: The design of TDS course lecture videos are designed in such a way that it could be understood only by the data scientists not by the students like me who are entirely new to the field of data science. Though I have gone through 6 weeks of course lecture videos, I am not fully aware of the usage of ChromeDevTools, Bash, Github etc…. ...
