Curated data science slices, served em português
It corrals scattered Portuguese-language data science resources into a single community syllabus before they vanish into forgotten Google Drives.

What it does
This is a community-curated field guide for data science in Portuguese. It catalogs study materials, datasets, career resources, and a dictionary of terms, organizing everything from first-year statistics to industrial big-data stacks. The goal is to replace the usual diaspora of links trapped in drives and chat pockets with one central, living index.
The interesting bit
Unlike the endless English-language “awesome” lists, this repository is stubbornly Brazilian. It links to local government data portals, domestic employers, and Portuguese courses, and it openly invites pull-request battles over whether a topic is truly beginner or advanced.
Key highlights
- Tiered study tracks for beginner, intermediate, and large-scale projects, with language-specific tips for Python, R, and Julia.
- A Portuguese data-science glossary (
dicionario.md) and a directory of Brazilian companies (empresas.md). - Deep-dive topic files covering everything from geoscience and neuroscience to web scraping and NLP.
- A heavy emphasis on Brazilian public data, including
brasil.io, IPEA, and the national open-data portal.
Caveats
- The maintainers explicitly warn that opinions differ on what counts as basic or advanced, so expect some editorial friction.
- This is a curated knowledge base, not a codebase; there are no libraries to import or scripts to run.
- Navigation is split across dozens of separate markdown files, so reading it feels more like exploring a wiki than following a single narrative.
Verdict
Worth bookmarking if you are a Portuguese-speaking beginner trying to map the data-science territory without drowning in English-only documentation. Seasoned practitioners already fluent in English will likely find it too foundational.
