Kaggle </h2> <p>First of all is Kaggle, a website that specialized for data scientists and analyst to learn and share their data analysis and models of machine learning.</p> <p>Except sharing notebooks there, you can also learn the concepts of machine learning and programming related to data mining, for example, Python and R and the libraries that can help it.</p> <p>Apart from sharing notebooks and learning, you can also join competitions for practicing your concepts of machine learning and finish the tasks.</p> <p>Link: <a href="https://www.kaggle.com/">https://www.kaggle.com/</a></p> <h2> 2.
