New EOS book on Earth Observation Using Python: A Practical Programming Guide

It might be good to reference this publication somewhere in the materials for this lesson. If you point me to the right place, I can do the edits and make a PR.

Thanks for the tip, @MathewBiddle. Looks like an excellent book (congrats @resmaili).

We usually conclude the Data Carpentry workshop by discussing how / where people can get information and assistance as they continue to improve their Python skills. This basically means pointing them towards the PyAOS and Pangeo communities.

I happen to be the maintainer of the PyAOS website, so I've added @resmaili's new book to the training resources page. (See PyAOS/pyaos.github.io@eab1523)

Having said all that, I realise that while we usually verbally point people to the PyAOS and Pangeo communities at the end of the workshop, that advice isn't written into the lesson materials. I'm thinking we should add a very short lesson to the end of the workshop called "community" to actually document this stuff. I'll leave this issue open as a reminder to do that 😄

I think that having a resource, as you describe, would be fantastic. Working at the US IOOS Office, we have some resources and tools we could add to make a more robust document.
