The Pandas Workshop
By :

In this chapter, you were introduced to the two fundamental pandas data structures, DataFrames and Series, along with the basic concepts of the pandas index. With the help of some basic I/O functions, such as read_csv()
and to_csv()
, you saw how pandas makes it easy to read from, or write data directly into, DataFrames and Series. To illustrate the ideas, a few pandas methods were introduced in the chapter. You also learned about methods such as set_index()
and the use of timestamp
as an index, and used resample()
, a pandas time series method that can change the time interval of data, as well as concat()
, which is used to combine pandas data structures into other structures.
By now, you should be comfortable with the concept of a DataFrame and Series. The rest of the chapters in this book will build upon these concepts. In the next chapter, you will learn about data I/O using pandas.
