Firms worldwide are scrambling to find developers with data science skills to work on projects ranging from social media marketing to machine learning, but the prerequisite knowledge and experience for this career can seem bewildering. This book is designed to help anyone who wants to learn more about data science get started. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroducing Data Science teaches readers how to accomplish the fundamental tasks that occupy data scientists. They'll use the Python language and common Python libraries as they experience firsthand the challenges of dealing with data at scale. They'll discover how Python allows them to gain insights from huge data sets that need to be stored on multiple machines, or for data moving at such speed no single machine can handle it. After reading this book, readers will have a solid foundation to consider a career in data science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEY SELLING POINTS \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaster big data with Python and become a data scientist \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow to use data science in a big data world \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGain hands on experience with the most common Python data science libraries \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eAUDIENCE \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book assumes readers (software engineers, business intelligence reporters, database moderators, statisticians, web developers, anyone interested in Big Data) are comfortable reading code in Python or a similar language, such as C, Ruby, or JavaScript.

Data scientists write programs to interpret these data. The Python programming language is a favorite tool of data scientists because it's easy to read and write, and it provides several high-value libraries that simplify core tasks like statistics, machine learning algorithms, and mathematics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Cielen, Arno Meysman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633430030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633430037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manning Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.30w x 0.40d","brand":"David Cielen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979464147199,"sku":"9781633430037","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6efc2903-21da-4294-98d3-83e5ca5d4b8b.jpg?v=1683245671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introducing-data-science-davy-cielen-9781633430037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
