Python for Data Analysis: Data Wrangling with pandas, NumPy, and Jupyter

I'm half way through the book and really enjoying it. Excellent book to start using pandas and other Python libraries for data analysis. Very well written and easy to follow. Great buy. Arrived in good condition.

If you need to learn 'data wrangling' and Python, then this book is right. I was amazed at how extensive the coverage of information in this book. I am still learning Python and refer to this book. Plenty of examples and exercises. I am a beginner and well able to use it. It can also be used by people with higher skills or refreshing for advanced users.

Instructional, as expected. 5/5 stars.

I have the second and third edition, and they’re both good for reference. I do wish there was more explanation but a good starting point and tips and notes.

Great content with a lot examples.

No doubt the author has knowledge about the subject. He's a respectable professional in the area and the creator of the pandas package. But once more in life, we see that knowing a subject doesn't give you the tools for teaching it. If you, like me, have learned from other resources about python, numpy, pandas, and the rest of the items touched on in the book, then, you occasionally will add some little tip that perhaps you didn't pay attention to before.Also, the way the author explains the different uses of the packages is not very clear. I found myself reading the book and jumping all the time to Google or other sources to clarify some things or for simpler examples that enlightened me to return back to the examples in the book. I would like to rate the author with five stars and the book with less than that. But, it's not possible so I rated it with three stars.
