A thread about pandas... (The library not the animal)

I like to describe pandas: ⋅ Like Excel ⋅ Like SQL Things that you would do with Excel or SQL, you can program in pandas

It is a Python library, so it is good to understand these parts of the Python language: * Syntax (index vs invocation vs attribute access, slicing) * Functions * Lambdas * List comprehensions

It is used in industry for: * Exploring data * Cleaning up data * Prepping data for machine learning * Visualizing data

After teaching a pandas course, I get feedback like: Everybody loved it. We already used some of the skills to debug two different production issues. Awesome!

If you are motivated to learn Pandas in a live setting with your own data, check out my course: maven.com/matt-harrison/…
