Body: <p>I am looking for a textbook that is a nice entry level to Bayesian Inference. I was hoping that there is a nice blend of theory and applications (data sets) on how concepts are applied. Programming techniques presented are welcome.</p>
  <p>Just for perspective, I feel that Christopher Bishop's PRML is a theoretical treatment. It is very good theoretically, but I find myself not understanding how to apply it given a data set.</p>
  <p>I have tried jumping from one book to another and this has just confused me. Is there any authoritative book with these requirements?</p>

  I am looking for a textbook that is a nice entry level to Bayesian Inference. I was hoping that there is a nice blend of theory and applications (data sets) on how concepts are applied. Programming techniques presented are welcome.
  
  Just for perspective, I feel that Christopher Bishop's PRML is a theoretical treatment. It is very good theoretically, but I find myself not understanding how to apply it given a data set.
  
  I have tried jumping from one book to another and this has just confused me. Is there any authoritative book with these requirements?
