This book aims to improve the reader's pandas skills to a professional-level through two hundred exercises. Reuven Lerner tests your abilities against common pandas challenges such as importing and exporting, data cleaning, visualization, and performance optimization. Each exercise utilizes a real-world scenario based on real-world data, from tracking the parking tickets in New York City, to working out which country makes the best wines.
