2. Data Exploration with Jupyter

Overview

In this chapter, we'll finally get our hands on some data and work through an exploratory analysis, where we'll compute some informative metrics and visualizations. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to use the pandas Python library to load tabular data and run calculations on it, and the seaborn Python library to create visualizations.

Introduction

So far, we have taken a glance at the data science ecosystem and jumped into learning about Jupyter, the tool that we'll be using throughout this book for our coding exercises and activities. Now, we'll shift our focus away from learning about Jupyter and start actually using it for analysis.

Data visualization and exploration are important ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
