about this book

Who should read this book

Data Science with Python and Dask takes you on a hands-on journey through a typical data science workflow—from data cleaning through deployment—using Dask. The book begins by presenting some foundational knowledge of scalable computing and explains how Dask takes advantage of those concepts to operate on datasets big and small. Building on that foundation, it then turns its focus to preparing, analyzing, visualizing, and modeling various real-world datasets to give you tangible examples of how to use Dask to perform common data science tasks. Finally, the book ends with a step-by-step walkthrough of deploying your very own Dask cluster on AWS to scale out your analysis code.
