Learning the Pandas Library: Python Tools for Data Munging, Analysis, and Visualization (Treading on Python Book 3) Kindle Edition

If you already have some background in python but are not a total expert in pandas, I strongly recommend this book. I walks you and motivates through the data structures that are used in pandas en explains their _raison d'être_. The style is easy read.Personally, I spent last semester going from a beginner to an intermediate/advanced level in python computing for data analysis. You sometimes wonder why there are out there so many data structures that seem to do the same thing (panda dataframe, numpy arrays, lists and dictionary) and when to use each. This is what I learned from this book. It systematically compares basic python with panda's and sometimes to numpy, and ultimately helps you to see how using them can improve your performance.I would not recommend it to someone with no background in python, let alone programming. You may wan tto look at Python for data analysis by Wes McKinney as a starter or, if you don't know any python _at all_ Learning python the hard way.

Kindle edition is missing page 17. As I'm only on page 18 I wouldn't be surprised to find more issues.

Its a good hello world for pandas , but its incomplete for even a beginner to do real work. I ended up spending more time on the web finding answers then in this book. .

This book provides tons of practical solutions that I’ve been able to implement at work immediately after reading. Definitely a nice guide to have handy.

The information is clear. The topics are relevant. I think this book makes an excellent transition from beginer to rookie.I am quite satisfied with this reading.

great book, good info, very readable, I just bought another one of his books

Nice concise book about pandas but it's hard to look at the figures with the Kindle version.

Font is unnecessary small. I read couple of pages and give up.

Me encanta este libro. Es ideal para iniciarse y adquirir una buena base en pandas. Va al grano y te proporiona nos buenos cimientos para continuar con el estudio de pandas

Boa introdução ao pandas. Ao contrário de outros livros, esta edição apresenta de forma direta, aspectos mais relevantes e necessários para a manipulação de dados com auxílio do pandas

Disappointed by the font size. I am not going to be reading this book and strain my eyes. I am not sure why they would pick such a small font for the text and even smaller font size for the code when there are so many programming books out there with proper font and size for reference.

Dieses Buch ist der Einstieg in pandas und seine Möglichkeiten. Vergleichbar mit dem Mathematica Dataset, jedoch anderen Stärken. Wer mit Daten in Python arbeiten muss wird pandas kennen, es erleichtert die queries ungemein, und plötzlich wird der Code wieder lesbar. Dieses Buch zeigt einem wie es geht.

This book gives a good introduction to the pandas libary. It starts with Series elements and proceeds with Dataframes. Nice intro into Pandas.
