Data Science with Python and Dask, Paperback/Jesse C. Daniel

Large datasets tend to be distributed, non-uniform, and prone to change. Dask simplifies the process of ingesting, filtering, and transforming data, reducing or eliminating the need for a heavyweight framework like Spark. Data Science with Python and Dask teaches readers how to build distributed data projects that can handle huge amounts of data. The book introduces Dask DataFrames and teaches helpful code patterns to streamline the reader's analysis. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
