Learn Python by Building Data Science Applications

To get the most out of this book

This book is designed for complete beginners and people who have just started to learn to code. It does not require any specific knowledge besides basic computer literacy.  

The execution of the code examples provided in this book requires an installation of Python 3.7.3 or later on macOS, Linux, or Microsoft Windows. The code presented throughout the book makes use of many Python libraries. In each chapter, a list of required libraries is given at the beginning. A full list of libraries is stored in the GitHub repository, in the environment.yaml file. The same file can be used to install Python and all of the required libraries in bulk—full instructions are given in Chapter 1, Preparing the Workspace.
