Nice introductory text on computational methods for social scientists using Python. The text is rather comprehensive and covers a lot of contemporary problems which may be of great interest for aspirant scientists/ practitioners in their daily work.
The McLevey book covers modern machine learning style research for both information science and computing students. For other social science students who have programming skills, or are at a graduate level, then this book might also be a good resource with plenty of useful information. However it is written using a handbook style and lacking an academic thrust. It is very practical and exercise based. Students would still need the Oates book to help them writeup.
