Do ​​​​you want to learn ​​data science 44% faster?

​The new textbook Coffee Break NumPy leverages the scientifically proven way of puzzle-based learning to code!

"Students who were quizzed after studying a short text could recall significantly more information than students who were asked to reread it" (Karpicke, 2007b)

Fear of missing out on data science and machine learning?​ The trend of automation is not coming to a halt soon. Machines take over more and more traditional jobs from human workers.

But also highly-skilled knowledge workers such as doctors, traditional computer scientists, teachers, and financial analysts are under the danger to be replaced by machines.

This is the era of machine learning and data science.

And missing out on data science can be the #1 most costly mistake of your career.

​But you're in luck: this ​eBook package ​gives you a fun way to start learning data science with Python. ​It gives you a thorough introduction in one of Python's most important libraries for data science and machine learning: NumPy

​​I ​have written the book on the basis of the proven method of solving practical code puzzles and practice testing -- to make learning more fun, faster, and smarter.

And here's the best thing: practice testing is scientifically proven to generate ​up to 44% better learning retention and ​efficiency.​

So what's in it for you?

  • ​Understand ​NumPy code ​quickly.
  • Learn all the basic ​NumPy concepts and data structures.
  • Finally understand ​the most important NumPy functions and how to use them for practical problems.

As an additional bonus, you ​can track your individual ​NumPy coding skill level throughout the book. After reading the book, you'll know exactly how good you are in comparison to your ​friends and colleagues.

To get the most out of this book, you should ​know the basics of Python — e.g., you have already ​read ​my previous book "Coffee Break Python".

The book is packed with 211 pages of in-depth NumPy content:

  • ​4​6 educative code puzzles to test your skills and to make learning easy and fun!
  • ​10 tips for efficient learning​ to help you stop wasting time!
  • ​​1 NumPy cheat sheets to learn 80% of the language features in 20% of the space!
  • ​1 accurate way to measure your coding skills because clarity is the first step to success!
  • ​​[BONUS] 1 detailed NumPy ​tutorial for absolute beginners ​to get you started!

Have your "Coffee Break NumPy" now! ;)

Puzzle-based Learning Python

This book is the chess grandmaster way of learning Python. It offers you 127 unique and brand-new Python puzzles. Every puzzle points to gaps in your knowledge, challenges you to guess a solution, and then explains potential solutions, in an easy-to-understand manner:

~~~

# Here’s one example puzzle:

my_list = [1, 1, 1, 1]

my_list[1::2] = [2, 3]

print(my_list)

# What’s the output of this code snippet?

~~~

An easy, fun, and effective way of learning Python -- day after day -- in your COFFEE BREAK PYTHON!

Here's what research says about puzzle-based learning:

"Students who were quizzed after studying a short text could recall significantly more information than students who were asked to reread it"

-- Karpicke, 2007, Elsevier Journal of Memory and Language

Practice testing is scientifically proven to generate up to 44% better learning retention and efficiency.

Simply put: quizzes and puzzles work! More than 100,000 Finxters and thousands of "Coffee Break Python" book customers have already successfully improved their skills with code puzzles.

Learning does not happen in a linear and orderly manner. It's a probabilistic, chaotic, and iterative process of creating knowledge gaps in your brain -- and filling them with just the right information you need.

That's the premise of the "Coffee Break Python" textbook series.

What will you get out of the book?

  • Improve your level of deep Python code understanding.
  • Surprise your peers with your newly acquired code speed reading skills.
  • Enjoy the small daily doses of intellectual challenges. A Finxter once called it "Sudoku for coders"! ;)
  • Improve your brain's working memory by hammering down the most important concepts.
  • Learn all the basic Python syntax elements.
  • Discover your own skill level by tracking your puzzle-solving performance.
  • Compare your skill level against other coders: are you a grandmaster of code?
  • Enjoy the fun of rushing over Python -- from "hello world" to "recursive Quicksort".
  • Get the best of all Finxter Python cheat sheets to revive 80% of the Python features in 20% of the time.
  • Get your dream job and rock future code interviews!

And take one step forward mastering the most popular programming language ON THE PLANET!
