Book:

- Information Theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms Textbook by David J. C. MacKay (free pdf: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/itila/)

Other things:

- (the already mentioned http://camdavidsonpilon.github.io/Probabilistic-Programming-...)

- https://github.com/markdregan/Bayesian-Modelling-in-Python (a practical introduction to PyMC3)
