About the technology
Data analysis with Python doesn't have to be hard. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can learn pandas! While its grid-style layouts may remind you of Excel, pandas is far more flexible and powerful. This Python library quickly performs operations on millions of rows, and it interfaces easily with other tools in the Python data ecosystem. It's a perfect way to up your data game.

About the book
Pandas in Action introduces Python-based data analysis using the amazing pandas library. You'll learn to automate repetitive operations and gain deeper insights into your data that would be impractical--or impossible--in Excel. Each chapter is a self-contained tutorial. Realistic downloadable datasets help you learn from the kind of messy data you'll find in the real world.
