You'll learn how to wrangle data with Python, scrape data from the web, feed data to pandas, and interact with databases. As usual with the Head First series, it is written in a fun and comprehensible manner that makes you progress through the chapters without even noticing it. Ordinary Riordan arrays and exponential Riordan arrays are examined, with many explicit examples, and their applications to combinatorics and other. When I was going through the introductory part of the book, I was a bit worried as it stated that a bit of knowledge in programming is expected, but it turned out not to be the case.

Really hard to apply the examples to real-world needs, which isn't the case in other Head First books I've used. It assumes some previous experience programming, but at the end it will provider the reader with some proficiency with the language. Paul Barry is formally educated and trained in Computer Science and holds a Masters Degree in Computing Science.It continued with the same lines of code throughout the chapters, that changed slightly with new stuff, which can be easier to understand for people but for me it was extremely boring and unchallenging. The Resources tab contains links to download the sample files, while the Links tab provides a set of weblinks to additional information. With this book, you'll learn Python through a multisensory experience that engages your mind-rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

Paul already has two textbooks to his name, and is also a Contributing Editor to Linux Journal magazine.

I understand the importance of it and why it needs a thorough elucidation but I got utterly bored when they kept explaining the same thing in different ways.
