Python Books - Recommendation - lasek723 - Oct-28-2020
Hi all,
I am 6 weeks into my Python journey. I like it. I have been using DataCamp.
Whilst I wait until they have a black Friday offer on, I am looking to brush up my skills via a good old fashion book.
I am fairly interested in the Data Side (Pandas, Matplotlib)
Two books I have heard are good are:-
- Automate the Boring Stuff
- Python for Data Analysis
Keen to hear people's thoughts :-)
Thanks

Please be aware that there are some excellent and free tutorials available.
Two of my favourites:
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Interactive Edition
and
Bernd Klein's Python course

I liked Data Wrangling with Python book on amazon
It uses facebook, linkdin, twitter api's to grab data
Al Swiegert also had a book Hacking ciphers now called Cracking Codes with Python it starts out slow and builds up fast Cracking Codes

There is notebook format of whole book,so can easy take a part(change and test) and run local.
Or eg use Colab Data-Indexing-and-Selection.ipynb now if you test can run(or change) cells from book.
