Overview of this book

Python is the most widely used programming language for building data science applications. Complete with step-by-step instructions, this book contains easy-to-follow tutorials to help you learn Python and develop real-world data science projects. The “secret sauce” of the book is its curated list of topics and solutions, put together using a range of real-world projects, covering initial data collection, data analysis, and production. This Python book starts by taking you through the basics of programming, right from variables and data types to classes and functions. You’ll learn how to write idiomatic code and test and debug it, and discover how you can create packages or use the range of built-in ones. You’ll also be introduced to the extensive ecosystem of Python data science packages, including NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, Altair, and Datashader. Furthermore, you’ll be able to perform data analysis, train models, and interpret and communicate the results. Finally, you’ll get to grips with structuring and scheduling scripts using Luigi and sharing your machine learning models with the world as a microservice. By the end of the book, you’ll have learned not only how to implement Python in data science projects, but also how to maintain and design them to meet high programming standards.

Tracking your data and metrics with version control

As with all ML projects, there is always room for improvement—especially if we converge on the actual use case scenario. But let's switch gears and talk about the technical side of the question.

As you probably noticed, in this chapter, we had to constantly iterate, adding and removing features from the data or settings to the model. And again, as we mentioned, only one-third of the initial experiments went into this book. This is probably fine for this toy dataset and this third of the code but eventually, we might be swamped in different versions and iterations of the model.

In Chapter 9, Shell, Git, Conda, and More – at Your Command, of this book, we learned about git—a system that stores versions of code, so you can safely switch to the previous version or even keep work on different versions of...
