What are some good books for learning NumPy and Pandas after learning the basics of Python? And which one should I start learning first – NumPy or Pandas?
IMHO, learn whichever one you plan to use the most. That is more likely Pandas, recognizing that Pandas is based on Numpy and so some familiarity with Numpy will follow as you learn Pandas.

Not answering your question exactly, I would suggest starting with a website and a youtube.

Pandas from the ground up from PyCon 2015

Then it depends on what you want to do with Pandas, and that should direct what you read next - machine learning, data analysis, basic spreadsheet stuff, web scraping, etc
