News There are still a couple days of March left, but to send this email out on a weekend would indeed be madness. Time for the monthly sale! - Lower Prices on JHU Courses: Lower minimum and suggested prices on courses from the Johns Hopkins Data Science Lab! - Leanpub App for computers: Coming in the next 1-2 weeks (?) Lower Prices on JHU Courses: So, I ([Peter]( recently had a [great time]( visiting [Jeff Leek]( [Roger Peng]( and many of the folks at the Johns Hopkins Data Science Lab. Jeff Leek is the author or co-author of [3 Leanpub books]( all with free minimum prices: [The Elements of Data Analytic Style]( (this book is #2 on our [lifetime bestseller list]( [Executive Data Science]( and [How to be a modern scientist](. Roger Peng is the author or co-author of [10 Leanpub books]( including the bestselling Leanpub book of all time, [R Programming for Data Science](. Roger’s other books includes [The Art of Data Science]( [Essays on Data Analysis]( and [Advanced Statistical Computing](. (Many of [Roger’s books]( also have free minimum prices, and they all have fair suggested prices, so go check them out too.) Anyway, besides the Leanpub books written by its members, the Johns Hopkins Data Science Lab has courses on Leanpub. Chromebook Data Science: First, the excellent [Chromebook Data Science course set (containing 12 courses)]( now has a free minimum price, and a $29.99 suggested price. By the way, you don’t need a Chromebook to do the course set, all you need is a computer which can run Google Chrome, as the entire course set is done on the web. So, you can use a Mac, PC or even a Chromebook to do the course set. (By the way, this course set has always either had a free coupon available or a free minimum price, and the JHU team is going to keep the minimum price of this course set free: the goal is to [make data science accessible to everyone]( Beside the free minimum price, this course set is an amazing deal at the suggested price, so if you have the cash, I strongly encourage you to pay the suggested price for it. (Or, drag the slider lower, to pay $10 or $20 for the course set, if you want to give yourself a coupon for it.) Supporting this course set supports both Leanpub and Jeff and his team. We're bootstrapped, so we obviously appreciate it when people buy things. However, Jeff and his team do as well: they are really generous, with their time, with this new pricing, and also with their royalties: all proceeds from this course set that go to the JHU Data Science Lab will be redirected to help improve training and placement in data science for disadvantaged individuals. Understanding data and statistics in the medical literature: Also, there is now a much lower minimum price and suggested price for the [Understanding data and statistics in the medical literature]( course. This minimum price is really low. How low is it? $9.99. That's so low that it really doesn’t make sense to add further coupons on top of it. So, we’re not! However, since there's going to be iterating, there's a nonzero probability that this price might get iterated up to $15 or $20 (or back up to $50!) in future, so if you're thinking about buying it, this is the time to do so. Now, this course is targeted at medical students and healthcare professionals, but it may be interesting to anyone who wants to think more seriously when they read news articles making broad conclusions based on some study. I know that every month it seems that something which was good for you is now bad for you, or vice-versa. Besides, statistics are a significant deal in the news recently, such as in the New York Times, so when you’re at your next cocktail party, you can now have a new conversation topic! Leanpub App for computers: In the next couple of weeks, we plan to launch the Leanpub App for computers. (Specifically, it will work on Mac, Windows and Linux.) The reason we’re creating this app is to make it even easier to buy and read Leanpub books and courses, and to get book updates without having to keep track of which file you downloaded. (Yes, this is like a popular gaming platform you may know. Unlike that platform, however, we won’t have DRM–just convenience.) Now on to the sale!
