- wodenokoto 8y agoI agree with that review. McKinneys book reads like a reference manual and an old one at that. I don't understand why it is recommended so often.
- closed 8y agoAh thanks for pointing out--I mostly agree with his posts (and his minimally sufficient pandas is a great one!), and it's definitely worth reading. A common quirk with a lot of the python DS books is them being "reference manuals". (I'm a little concerned with the aggressive way he's come at Wes McKinney in posts and on twitter, considering Wes has given a lot of his time working on open source contributions)
