The Content Covers:
Installation Data Structures Series CRUD Series Indexing Series Methods Series Plotting Series Examples DataFrame Methods DataFrame Statistics Grouping, Pivoting, and Reshaping Dealing with Missing Data Joining DataFrames DataFrame ExamplesPreliminary ReviewsThis is anexcellent introduction benefitting from clear writing and simple examples. The pandas documentation itself is large and sometimes assumes too much knowledge, in my opinion. Learning the Pandas Library bridges this gap for new users and even for those with some pandas experience such as me.
