Author of book here. Thanks for the review Giles! Happy to answer any questions.

The review is right on the mark — the only thing I'[d say is that if you're a complete Pandas novice, you might want to start with a YT tutorial first (I like the one Brandon Rhodes did for a Pycon) just to get a feeling for what it is, just to get a feeling for it. Matt starts at the very basics, and you'll learn a lot from that, but I can imagine that it's a bit dry and gives you a feeling of "yeah I want to DO something" that might get in the way.
If you DO have a (tiny) bit of Pandas experience it's great because it does a great job explaining how things really work, and making it easier to understand some of the finer nuances of its behavior. "Best Pandas book" is not an exaggeration!

Finally, thank you Matt for selling a physical book with color diagrams at a reasonable price, something some other publishers really seem to struggle with.

feels like a reference book 80 pages in, these methods are good to know but without implementing it in a larger scale than just illustrative example lost me. i feel like the real life application parts come much later but i would recommend following an online tutorial project then see which functions are used and go back to this book

Pandas are my favorite animal. Was not properly ready for this video

[Headlikeanorange]

Asked a question about the difference between this book and another one of his books, but it got deleted. That's disappointing.

Thought the book was about the animal panda😂
