Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan Amazing book, which is just released, very pragmatical with just the right amount of theory. Highly recommended!

Think Bayes: Bayesian Statistics Made Simple A very basic introduction to Bayes using Python, I'm not as enthusiastic about this book as “Statistical Rethinking”, but since it's free you have nothing to lose!
