Abstract
In this book, I assume that you are familiar with Python programming. In this introductory chapter, I explain why a data scientist should choose Python as a programming language. Then I highlight some situations where Python is not a good choice. Finally, I describe some good practices in application development and give some coding examples that a data scientist needs in their day-to-day job.
