Hands-On APIs for AI and Data Science avoids the biggest mistake I see in technical books: it provides practical lessons grounded in how technology is actually used.

With fun examples from sports data, author Ryan Day walks through multiple angles of a single API project.

Anyone in data science would be wise to build their career on the foundations Ryan has laid out in this book.
