Recommender systems, though, are here to stay and for anyone beginning their journey in data science, this is a lucrative space for future employment.

This book will get you up and running with the basics as well as the steps to coding your own recommender system using Python.

Exercises include predicting book recommendations, relevant house properties for online marketing purposes, and whether a user will click on an ad campaign.
