Bitwise operations are still common and necessary in dealing with matrices and arrays in Matlab/numpy etc.For ordinary code they would be an unnecessary layer of complexity and perhaps even a false source of optimisation.I tend to trust tha

21 nested callbacks sounds like my current attempt at twisted programming,except Michelles code is a lot clearer and easier to read! Even more experienced people write complete rubbish in an new language or worse port their old language pat

It is actually a good book and definitely worth getting,but it really should have been called Pandas for Data Analysis. While not directly covering the python libraries mentioned such as scikits learn this is a good into to some concepts in
