00 intro

You have finished five years of data science at school. You can ask good questions, wrangle messy tables, write SQL and Python, reason about uncertainty, build and audit simple models, and communicate honestly. This is a strong foundation — and it is only the beginning. This part of the book is a guide to what comes next: how to study, what to learn, which books and courses to use, how to show your work, and where it can lead.
