Any guidance for new beginners interested in data science
In order to learn data science you should know about main tools and ideas in the data scientist's toolbox. 
Two steps which most newbee's follow are:


The first is a conceptual introduction to the ideas behind turning data into actionable knowledge which involves following steps: 



  
    Getting and Cleaning Data,Data Analysis,Reproducible Research
  





  
    Statistical Inference, using Regression Models and Machine Learning
  



The second is a practical introduction to the tools that will be used in the program like version control, markdown, git, GitHub, R, and RStudio.


I would advice you to complete a general course on data science from any website or tutorial you find easy for example I personally like this course: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/jhu-data-science

And then start building some projects of your own for example in my free time I build a lot of small data science projects playing with any available data like US census, petroleum data etc. For example see following link for one of my many data science projects:
