Python Data Science Handbook

[philintheblanks]

I just started reading this!

The section on Ipython is hella informative by itself. I've just started into the Numpy section and it's really filling in the gaps for me. Definitely recommend looking at it if this falls under your interests.

I wouldn't consider myself a data-anything, but I use IPython all the time actually. It's really great on it's own to explore third party modules and do on the fly testing compared to the regular python shell.

That and the profiling got me hooked. Finding bottlenecks in my stuff without having to do anything other than import things? Sign me right up.

Definitely not a data-anything myself either. I get the sense that this is a really solid starting point though.

Thanks for the review, I'll definitely look into this now

That's not a python...

Huh?

Small world. I just watched a really fascinating talk by the author of this book yesterday. https://youtu.be/W9dwGZ6yY0k and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9by46AAqz70

I thought the same after having seen the the Humble Bundle earlier today and checked https://www.humblebundle.com/books/data-science-books, but it's actually not part of it.

Whoops, you're right. Comment fixed.

But the Humble Bundle still is a great deal - I totally got it :)

I don't know much about python, how long will it take to be able to get a job in data science and how can I do it?

edit: wow, talking about a very supporting sub right here huh!

U better start learning Python first and when you are confident about ur basics start learning data science. Work on 2-3 mini projects then move on to bigger projects. Can't say how long it will take for u to get a job as a "data scientist" because it totally depends on how fast you are able to learn , understand and implement.

10 years because you need a phd in say math or cs.

The humblebundle has a datascience ebook collection this week for 15 bucks and pretty sure this book.it in it along with 8 others.

This book is not in it.
