10 minutes to Pandas tutorial using Koala + Spark, incomplete

[thunterdb]

This is the start of the translation of the basic tutorial on pandas called 10 minutes to pandas, available here:

This tutorial is extensive, so I think it should be focus on the 'easy' sections that are already implemented, and add later the 'hard' sections as they get implemented.

This notebook is currently too big, and does not even render on github. I am going to break it into multiple sections to help with contributions.

@thunterdb I'll join you !

[thunterdb]

@garawalid please be my guest. Let us focus on the first part, up to and including 'Viewing the data'. I hope that this is small enough that it can be easily rendered in github and sphinx.

This was written before the refactoring in #90 , so there are a few things to watch for:

• it should follow now the import best practices import databricks.koalas as ks
• it does not need to refer to spark as prominently, most of the calls to the spark context are automated now

There will be probably some other comments so I suggest to start small first and build up from there. You should branch off from here and open a separate pull request.

Thanks a lot!

With pleasure! Just give me three days, I need to finish with data sanitization for isna and fillna and then we can start !

[dennyglee]

Cool stuff - looking forward to it, eh?!

@thunterdb, @garawalid Can I also join this?

Sure. We are working in this PR #196. You can open a PR in this repo tutorial branch.
