Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.one vote for BDA. For programmers who learn better by implementing things, this book [1] is also good:[1]: https://www.amazon.com/Bayesian-Methods-Hackers-Probabilisti...
⬐ montecarlParts of that book are available online[1] for free. If not for that book I would never have understood how to apply Bayesian stats to problems that interested me.[1] http://camdavidsonpilon.github.io/Probabilistic-Programming-...
This is the "online" (abridged) version of this book:https://www.amazon.com/Bayesian-Methods-Hackers-Probabilisti...
There's a full version of another good book ("Think Bayes: Bayesian Statistics in Python") available as a PDF from the publisher here:

In my opinion, the "for hackers" title is in reference to multiple books that have been released with the "X for hackers" that targets people with hacking skills but do not have a formal background in X.Machine Learning for Hackers http://www.amazon.co.uk/Machine-Learning-Hackers-Drew-Conway...

EDIT: I'm not the author, but you can find Bayesian Methods for Hackers (free, released by the author) at the link below. I think it's a great resource for anyone wanting to explore Bayesian methods using Python.
