for working with pandas, the Python data analysis library, by
exploring its underlying implementation and data structures.
Thinking in Pandas introduces the topic of big data and
demonstrates concepts by looking at exciting and impactful projects
that pandas helped to solve. From there, you will learn to assess
your own projects by size and type to see if pandas is the
appropriate library for your needs. Author Hannah Stepanek explains
how to load and normalize data in pandas efficiently, and reviews
