Pandas Made Easy

Pandas is so easy, except when you try to do anything difficult.

Also known as: “Pandas without StackOverflow,” “Pandas Without the Constant Fiddling”

Pandas is a surprisingly coherent and consistently designed tool. Yet users constantly run into errors they don't understand and are forced to confront design decisions in the API that they cannot comprehend. This is because most "Introduction to Pandas" sessions present the API from a very superficial level, suggesting the tool is merely a collection of tiny, constantly changing details you have to memorize. Of course people will be confused and frustrated!

In this three part series, we will look at a series of problems in Pandas, starting with simple examples and quickly progressing to complex analyses. Each step of the way, we'll discuss a core concept in Pandas and provide the “why” behind the Pandas API, with a goal to transforming Pandas from a collection of obscure API details to an obvious, coherent tool for columnar data analysis.

Just by registering for the sessions, you'll receive all the materials, even if you can't attend!
