      The following data science book also does a great job of balancing problem solving with underlying theory. https://www.manning.com/books/data-science-bookcamp And it starts with sample-space probability problems in Python, much like Peter’s tutorial.

      I don't think you need a bootcamp. Foundational DS concepts can be self-tough given the right resources (such as Manning's "Data Science Bookcamp" https://www.manning.com/books/data-science-bookcamp)

      Manning has an early access book in the works, "Data Science Bookcamp: 10 Python Projects"

      "...you'll test and build your knowledge of Python and learn to handle the kind of open-ended problems that professional data scientists work on daily."
