Effective Pandas: Patterns for Data Manipulation (Treading on Python)

Product Information

Effective Pandas is 350+ pages of no-fluff, get-it-done explanations and advice to help you learn pandas or to level up your existing knowledge and skills.

I think it is a good thing in that an investment in learning pandas turns out to be a super-power when you need to move to Spark or Dask. Most of the reporting from book sales you hear about is probably from the top end, so don't be disappointed if you don't achieve similar results.x Cookbook, Machine Learning Pocket Reference, best selling Illustrated Guide to Python 3, and Learning the Pandas Library, as well as other books.

I love pandas, but would hope to have seen more details, this book feels like a print of the official documentation. However, we will walk through real-world examples and help you understand the options that you have. I can't wait to get into the more advanced topics and start applying what I learn to my day-to-day work. You've had a chance to work on the material, it is fresh on your mind, and you have used a different part of your brain by working on the labs.Still half way through this book but definitely recommend all analyst/applied scientists to read this 📙. What do you think are the most common anti-patterns, which might trap people with experience in Python and starting with Pandas? If you haven't read Matt Harrison's book and use Pandas, chances are you're like that Chad at the picnic or camping trip that pulls out his guitar to strum along the same basic chords for an hour straight. I like the way how Matt have described the each scenario, graphical/pictorial representation of each topic to give you a visual clarity on what is happening underneath. I’ve been following your work for a while and have found your pandas philosophy transformative and super helpful in my own work.

Matt Harrison is the Pandas guru, which in my opinion is equivalent to being Canelo Alvarez of boxers or the Esther Perel of therapists; he’s mastered the fundamentals and knows more than most anyone about the Pandas package. Matt Harrison doesn’t assume that anyone taking the course has a lot of Python programming experience.

I have started digging into your book, and it is one of the best technical books in the area of data handling and the best book in the PyData sphere I have owned and read. Some of this is quite important, as there are some methods in pandas that create copies of objects but others that modify objects in place. The result is an highly-opinionated book that teaches best practices for working with columns, manipulating tables, summarization through grouping, pivoting, and cross-tabulation, plotting, and focusing on writing clean code that your future self (and colleagues) will appreciate and understand.

like a salad recipe written by a corporate lawyer using a phone autocorrect that only knew Excel formulas. I’m curious in your experience teaching pandas do you take a different approach based on your specific audience’s background?This book has taught me new concepts such as chaining and other ways to improve performance such as the categories topic.
