Python for Data Analysis

Python for Data Analysis is concerned with the nuts and bolts of manipulating, processing, cleaning, and crunching data in Python. It is also a practical, modern introduction to scientific computing in Python, tailored for data-intensive applications. This is a book about the parts of the Python language and libraries you’ll need to effectively solve a broad set of data analysis problems. This book is not an exposition on analytical methods using Python as the implementation language. Written by Wes McKinney, the main author of the pandas library, this hands-on book is packed with practical cases studies. It’s ideal for analysts new to Python and for Python programmers new to scientific computing.

Un buon libro che a partire dalle strutture dati fondamentali di Python introduce le librerie numpy e pandas. Purtroppo dopo la prima metà il libro si perde, la data visualization ed in particolare matplotlib e seaborn vengono trattati in modo veloce rimandando alla documentazione ufficiale o ad altri testi.
Utile per capire le basi nella pulizia dei dati.
Per iniziare a sporcarsi le mani col codice la prima parte è ottima.

Metto il "letto" perché essendo un manuale di consultazione non ha senso una vera data di inizio e di fine. Forse un po' difficile per il mio livello, comunque lo considero un ottimo libro di consultazione, anche per chi è alle prime armi.
