Python was developed in 1980s by Guido Van Rossum of Netherlands. Python was developed as an object-oriented language with an emphasis on simplicity, extensibility and flexibility. Python also comes with a large library of pre-built functionality for data science, statistical analysis and data visualizations which make this language very easy to learn and use. In this book we will focus on data science applications of Python with hands on examples that allow you to go from novice to expert in a short period of time! We will start with getting you set up with Python, introducing you to its data structures and libraries and then finally getting into the data science applications of this beautiful language. What you will find different about this book is the visual and hands on approach it takes to teaching Python. Since this book is directed at beginners, we will not drone on and on about complex concepts or make this book text heavy. Instead, we will take inspiration from the Zen of Python by Tim Peters.
