A collection of resources for pandas (Python) and related subjects. Pull requests are very welcome!
Contents: This is an unofficial collection of resources for learning pandas, an open source Python library for data analysis. Here you will find videos, cheat-sheets, tutorials and books / papers. The curated list is divided into three parts:
- pandas resources - A collection of videos, cheat-sheets, tutorials and books directly related to pandas.
- Data analysis with Python resources - Material related to adjacent Python libraries and software such as NumPy, scipy, matplotlib, seaborn, statsmodels and Jupyter.
- Miscellaneous related resources - Resources related to general data analysis, Python programming, algorithms, computer science, machine learning, statistics, etc.
- Packages - Python packages for helping to work with Pandas.
The videos below were collected in July of 2018. They are all directly related to pandas, and the Level of a video is quantified roughly as follows:
- π : Beginner - requires little knowledge to jump into, elementary topics.
- π : Intermediate - some prior knowledge needed, more technical.
- π± : Advanced - very technical, or discusses advanced topics.
- β : Recommended video - high quality video and audio, great presentation.
