I'm currently looking into big data because it's very interesting to me.
Claire Corthell published a Data Science curriculum that is like an encyclopedia. http://datasciencemasters.org/
The US government publishes a site called http://www.data.gov/ with over 160,000 datasets. "The home of the U.S. Government’s open data Here you will find data, tools, and resources to conduct research, develop web and mobile applications, design data visualizations, and more." As I browsed around, I found a link to the TIGER database of the census. It's a database I was familiar with when I first got out of college.
The image you see at the beginning of this article is from Citymapper, an app that uses public data you can get from Data.gov. I'm about to download it. From the comments, it's a lifechanger for some people.
Are you working with big data? Tell me about it!
O'Reilly Media is offering unlimited 30-day access to the Safari library of over 30,000 books and videos from over 200 publishers and imprints.

O’Reilly Releases their 2015 Data Science Salary Survey
For the third consecutive year, O’Reilly Media conducted an anonymous survey to expose the tools that successful data scientists and engineers use, and how those tool choices might relate to their salary.
Want to know what you need to know to earn the big bucks? Knowledge of certain tools can increase your salary more than getting a Ph.D. Curious what clusters of tools are most commonly used together? Or what job titles pay the best? It's all there.
Gain insight from these potentially career-changing findings, and plug your own variables into one of the linear models to predict your own salary.
