<h1>Efficient Python Tricks and Tools for Data Scientists<a class="headerlink" href="#efficient-python-tricks-and-tools-for-data-scientists" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Why efficient Python? Because using Python more efficiently will make your code more readable and run more efficiently.</p>
<p>Why for data scientist? Because Python has a wide application. The Python tools used in the data science field are not necessarily useful for other fields such as web development.</p>
<p>The goal of this book is to spread the awareness of efficient ways to do Python. They include:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>efficient built-in methods and libraries to work with iterator, dictionary, function, and class</p></li>
<li><p>efficient methods to work with popular data science libraries such as pandas and NumPy</p></li>
<li><p>efficient tools to incorporate in a data science project</p></li>
<li><p>efficient tools to incorporate in any project</p></li>
<li><p>efficient tools to work with Jupyter Notebook.</p></li>
</ul>

<h2>What Should You Expect From This Book?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-should-you-expect-from-this-book" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>This book expects you to have some basic knowledge of Python and data science.</p>
<p>You should also expect bite-size code snippets for each section. This will allow you to obtain multiple pieces of knowledge in fewer than one minute. I included the link to the resources for every tools introduced in case you want to explore them further.</p>
