Coffee Break Pandas
74 Pandas Puzzles to Build Your Pandas Data Science Superpower
Data is the new oil -- whoever develops the skills to harvest this largely untapped asset class will increase their value in the 21st-century marketplace.
Data truly is a modern-world asset. And data processing now plays a key part in organizing modern society.
During the first years of the computer, hardware capacities were limited and expensive. Processing vast amounts of data was impossible during the first few decades.
Fortunately, Moore's Law -- the number of transistors on a microchip doubles roughly every two years -- lead to an exponential cost reduction for computing power.
Hardware became more powerful and much cheaper by orders of magnitudes.
Today, it is financially viable to store, process, and analyze hundreds of terabytes of data.
Big corporations such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook are avidly collecting data to get to know their users even better and increase their revenues.
By reading this book, you'll learn the powerful skill of analyzing and processing data with Python's Pandas framework.
60-Days 100% Money-Back Guarantee (& Keep Book)!
If you don’t think that the book is worth your time, you’ll get 100% of your money back for as long as 60(!) days after the purchase! Just like that. And you keep the book for free.
