My hope for this post is to lower the barrier to entry for using the shell for people who are otherwise overwhelmed by not knowing where to begin. I will outline a series of commands that will allow you to become comfortable with the basics of the command line on unix/linux/Mac and learn enough to be able to explore and learn more about it on your own (think of this as your launchpad).

On parking garage data, added circular statistics to hour of the day and day of the year, and increased accuracy on generalized linear model by 1% from 77% to 78% using h2o Flow. Started learning the basics of TensorFlow, computational graphs, constants/variables/placeholders, sessions.
Reading Hands-on, chapters 2 (data processing, scikit-learn pipelines), 9 (intro to TensorFlow), and 14 (RNNs and LSTMs).
