Description

Get to grips with the skills you need for entry-level data science in this hands-on Python and Jupyter course. You'll learn about some of the most commonly used libraries that are part of the Anaconda distribution, and then explore machine learning models with real datasets to give you the skills and exposure you need for the real world. We'll finish up by showing you how easy it can be to scrape and gather your own data from the open web, so that you can apply your new skills in an actionable context.

Who is this book for?

This book is ideal for professionals with a variety of job descriptions across large range of industries, given the rising popularity and accessibility of data science. You'll need some prior experience with Python, with any prior work with libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib and Pandas providing you a useful head start.

I'm about 20% in and find this book poorly organized and concepts only marginally explained. This could be a case of an author knowing the subject too well and forgetting how to explain it to others.

Used this book for a college course. YouTube is better. At least it's reasonably priced. Okay for a beginner.

This book packs a lot into a small space! You will need some basic knowledge of python to benefit from all examples/labs.

There are lots of great Python tutorials out there, and as somebody who has already worked through ‘Automate the Boring Stuff with Python’ I wanted a book to show me how to get started with data science without going over all of the basics of the language again. This book is ideal for that. It shows you step-by-step how to get up and running with Jupyter, and then works through Python data science libraries that I’d heard of before but never actually used. The whole thing feels like it was written for a classroom environment as it’s got lots of step-by-step example and activities, which works quite well given the subject matter.
