Overview of this book

Learn Python Programming is a quick, thorough, and practical introduction to Python - an extremely flexible and powerful programming language that can be applied to many disciplines. Unlike other books, it doesn't bore you with elaborate explanations of the basics but gets you up-and-running, using the language. You will begin by learning the fundamentals of Python so that you have a rock-solid foundation to build upon. You will explore the foundations of Python programming and learn how Python can be manipulated to achieve results. Explore different programming paradigms and find the best approach to a situation; understand how to carry out performance optimization and effective debugging; control the flow of a program; and utilize an interchange format to exchange data. You'll also walk through cryptographic services in Python and understand secure tokens. Learn Python Programming will give you a thorough understanding of the Python language. You'll learn how to write programs, build websites, and work with data by harnessing Python's renowned data science libraries. Filled with real-world examples and projects, the book covers various types of applications, and concludes by building real-world projects based on the concepts you have learned.

Summary

In this chapter, we talked about data science. Rather than attempting to explain anything about this extremely wide subject, we delved into a project. We familiarized ourselves with the Jupyter Notebook, and with different libraries, such as Pandas, Matplotlib, and NumPy.

Of course, having to compress all this information into one single chapter means I could only touch briefly on the subjects I presented. I hope the project we've gone through together has been comprehensive enough to give you an idea of what could potentially be the workflow you might follow when working in this field.

The next chapter is dedicated to web development. So, make sure you have a browser ready and let's go!
