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 we could only touch briefly on the subjects we presented. We 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 follow when working in this field.

The next chapter is dedicated to API development.
