Programmer’s Guide to Data Mining – A free ebook

Ron Zacharski is currently writing a data mining book, A Programmer’s Guide to Data Mining. The book is targeted at programmers that want to know when and how to apply recommendation engines and other data mining techniques. The book is still in the writing phase, but I can say the first couple chapters are excellent. The book will always be available for free download.

If you are a programmer that is looking to add some recommendations to a website, I would highly suggest taking a look at this book.

      Ha. I don’t think my blog generates enough traffic for that. Upon further review, it appears hackers news had a link the site today as well. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5331765
      That is most likely the reason for the site being down.

      Yes, I know. Unfortunately, I have no way to turn it back on. It is a really good book. I only got through the first couple chapters before the site went down.
