Some people may be drawn to computer science for the engineering rigor in architecting how software works, but I love the creative pursuit of going through the structured decomposition of a
problem, deciding on a solution, then coding.

I highly recommend this book. I have been using Pandas for 4-5 years, and this book significantly improves my coding style. You could also find really effective ways to use lots of different aspects of pandas. It's such a well-written book. Thank you for writing Effective Pandas 🐍 Matt Harrison
Effective Pandas is solid
Absolutely loving this book If you use pandas, even if you're fairly well versed in it, do yourself a favor and buy this.
@__mharrison__) is the best pandas wrangler I've ever seen
The first edition of Effective Pandas was a game changer; I know #2 will follow suit.
Even professional data scientists can learn something new about pandas from this book.
In general, I don't believe in "the ultimate source" for learning something, but I know an ultimate source when I see one.
And for pandas, it's "Effective Pandas" by Matt Harrison.
My Effective Pandas 2 is starting to get a little worn. Great follow-up to the first edition with all the new pyarrow / Pandas 2 references.
"Effective Pandas: Patterns for Data Manipulation" by Matt Harrison is a tour de force in the world of data manipulation with Pandas. As an avid developer and learner, I am always searching for resources that not only explore the technical depths but also excel in delivering knowledge with clarity and effectiveness.
Harrison's expertise shines through every page, creating a seamless blend of technical mastery and pedagogical finesse. What sets this book apart is the author's dedication to ensuring that readers not only absorb information but truly understand and apply it. The commitment to teaching is evident, making the learning experience engaging and transformative.
The utilization of real-world examples is a standout feature of Harrison's approach. These examples serve as practical anchors, allowing readers to connect effortlessly with the challenges presented in data manipulation. Each chapter unfolds like a well-crafted lesson, presenting bite-sized pieces of manageable and captivating knowledge. The inclusion of summaries and exercises at the end of each chapter adds an extra layer of reinforcement, solidifying the understanding of key concepts.
The clarity in presentation is a guiding principle throughout the book. Harrison possesses an in-depth understanding of the material and excels in distilling complex concepts into accessible and comprehensible content. The result is a reading experience that flows effortlessly, devoid of major obstacles, covering every aspect of Pandas with a level of mastery that I, as a reader, aimed to achieve.
"Effective Pandas" not only met my expectations but surpassed them. The book made learning enjoyable and left me contemplating the adoption of the chaining style—a clear testament to its influence. In the realm of technical literature, Matt Harrison has delivered an exemplary guide that ticks all the boxes, ensuring that "Effective Pandas" will undoubtedly stand the test of time as a go-to resource for anyone seeking proficiency in data manipulation with Pandas.
