A Whirlwind Tour of Python

Jake VanderPlas, Summer 2016

This repository contains the Jupyter Notebooks behind my O'Reilly report, A Whirlwind Tour of Python (free 100-page pdf).

A Whirlwind Tour of Python is a fast-paced introduction to essential components of the Python language for researchers and developers who are already familiar with programming in another language.

The material is particularly aimed at those who wish to use Python for data science and/or scientific programming, and in this capacity serves as an introduction to The Python Data Science Handbook (also with notebooks on github). These materials are adapted from courses and workshops I've given on these topics at University of Washington and at various conferences, meetings, and workshops around the world.

This material was written and tested using Python 3.5, and should work for any Python 3.X version. I have done my best to note places where the syntax of Python 2.X will differ.
