The O'Reilly book "Python for Data Analysis" has a chapter specifically on pandas (and uses pandas in other chapters).
+1 for the python ecology lesson (data carpentry), I'd probably start there. The O'Reilly book is a good follow up. - Geoff ________________________________ From: Discuss <[email protected]> on behalf of Tracy Teal <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 6, 2018 8:39:08 AM To: Lagesen, Karin Cc: Software Carpentry Discussion Subject: Re: [Discuss] looking for good pandas introduction Hi Karin, The Data Carpentry Python Ecology lesson teaches pandas, so could be a good starting place. http://www.datacarpentry.org/python-ecology-lesson/ Also, Jake VanderPlas' 'Python Data Science Handbook' has a good chapter on pandas. https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/ It would be great to hear if there were other resources people recommended. They would also be good recommendations for learners for after workshops. There's an issue going to collect ideas. https://github.com/carpentries/conversations/issues/18 Best, -Tracy On Tue, Feb 6, 2018 at 7:29 AM, Lagesen, Karin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi! I'm trying to teach myself pandas at the moment, and I'm looking for good (hopefully sort of software carpentry style) tutorials on it. Many of the ones I've seen so far are too dense to really understand what's going on under the hood, and looking stuff up on the pandas site is not too beginner friendly at times.
