I have been playing with data science since few years. Here are steps to become data scientist .
1. Choose Python or R. (i am python developer since 7 years, so i am gonna recommend few ebooks here)
Python: Dive Into Python pdf.
I would also recommend python class here from google
2. Once you are good at programming in Python , Learn statistics
ebook: Think Stats
3. Learn Numpy, Scipy, Pandas and machine learning
ebook: Practical machine learning with Python .
you can pick up chapters related to Numpy, Pandas, Visualization techniques with pandas or seaborn and Machine learning in the above ebook.
Once you are done with these 3 ebooks, you should be able to do some data sets. try to sign up in www.kaggle.com and compete in data science problems. you can also download some data sets and practice.
