Who this book is for

This is not an introduction to programming, so it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the concepts of at least one programming language. For those familiar with scripting languages such as Python, R, and MATLAB, the task is not a difficult one, as well as for people using similar-style languages such as C, Java, and C#.

However, for the data scientist, possibly with a background in analytics methods using spreadsheets, such as Excel, or statistical packages, such as SPSS and Stata, most parts of the text should prove rewarding.
