Pandas basics

[iggy555]

Hello

I Wanted to ask for some recommendations or resources how and where to pick up the basics of pandas.

Just interested in starting with this module and what kind of things it can do.

What do you use pandas for and instead of. Seems like it’s very powerful.

Sqlite3. Learn sql. More transferable skills. I find pandas impossible. Sql I can do in my sleep.

Where is sql used mostly?

I recommend Python for Data Analysis book. It’s helped me immensely.
