About the Book
The goal of this book is to help folks who want to use Python to do something, in the most efficient way possible. You either want to leverage Python to help you clean billions of records, build an application or get into machine learning. You don't want to tinker or earn meaningless badges - you want to leveraging Python to create real-world solutions.
It was inspired by a need to provide, not only tutoring students with a reference, but one that the authorr couldn't even find herself.
The goal of this book is to help you think and work like a problem solver, leveraging Python to solve problems or to make your life easier, so you don't have to waste time filling in the holes in your knowledge and forgoing those controlled environments that give you a false sense of progress - so you can start working on that thing you want to build.
This book will be a guide to introduce you to the importance of reading the documentation, using version control immediately, and get you in the practice of debugging by testing your code, as well as, setting you up to deploy your code, work with AI agents or jump into that framework you've been itching to use.
