Francois Cholet (author of Keras)'s Deep Learning with Python will be complete and fully published on the 20th of December: https://www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-with-python The chapters released so far are very good, the outlook chapters were extensively discussed on HN: https://blog.keras.io/the-limitations-of-deep-learning.html and https://blog.keras.io/the-future-of-deep-learning.html

Wickham's R for Data Science came out in December 2016, I'd like to pretend that counts as 2017: http://r4ds.had.co.nz/ It's a very complete introduction to the tidyverse which makes working in R much more pleasurable.

The second edition of Python for Data Science came out in October 2017 - that one focuses on Pandas, numpy and Jupyter notebooks, reasonably good introduction to those libraries.

The second edition of Sebastian Raschka's Python Machine Learning came out 2017 too - that one focuses more on scikit-learn and tensorflow, have only heard good things but haven't read much in it.
