  • Dads, be passionate

  • Sons, he’s your hero

The Turing Way project is illustrated as a road or path with shops for different data science skills. People can go in and out with their shopping cart and pick and choose what they need.

The book is collaboratively written and built in the open from the start. You can explore different opportunities to get involved on the start page. Join our Slack Workspace to connect and discuss your ideas and subscribe to our newsletter to follow updates from our community.

Different Pathways#

Our Community#

The Turing Way community is dedicated to making collaborative, reusable and transparent research “too easy not to do”. That means investing in the socio-technical skills required to work in a team, to build something more significant than any individual could deliver alone.

The Turing Way is:

  • a book

  • a community

  • a global collaboration

We hope you find the content in the book helpful. Everything here is available for free under a CC-BY licence. Please use and re-use whatever you need, for any purpose.

The Turing Way receives support and funding from The Alan Turing Institute, however, the project is designed to be a global collaboration. We have contributions from across the UK, and from India, Mexico, Australia, the USA, and many European countries. Chapters have been written, reviewed and curated by members of research institutes and universities, government departments, and industry. We are committed to creating a space where people with diverse expertise and experiences can share their knowledge with others, together supporting each other in using data science to improve the world.

Translation

Call for translators! We’re looking for contributors to help translate this space for everyone! Read more about our translation workflow and how you can contribute to it in the translation chapter.

We value the participation of every member of our community and want to ensure that every contributor has an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, everyone who participates in The Turing Way project is expected to show respect and courtesy to other community members at all times.

Learn more about our community members and community-level approaches in the Afterword of this book.

To make this project truly accessible and useful for everyone, we invite you to contribute your skills and bring your perspectives into this project.

To join this community, please read our contribution guidelines with ways to get in touch. All contributions must abide by our code of conduct. More information about the community, participation process and project management is available in the Community Handbook.

We look forward to expanding and building The Turing Way together.
