Korshub's take

A Thorough, Example-Heavy Introduction to Pandas

This course works through the Python Pandas library from installation to genuinely intermediate territory, aiming to be comprehensive rather than a quick surface-level tour. Expect a heavy emphasis on worked examples, animations, and practice problems with detailed solutions rather than passive video-watching.

Topics Covered

Series and DataFrames
Indexes, including MultiIndexes
Reading and writing CSV files
Merge, reshape, and aggregation operations
Dates, times, missing values, strings, and categoricals

The course was built using Python 3.9.1 and Pandas 1.2.0, and runs examples in Google Colab, though neither a specific version nor Colab itself is required to follow along. Prior familiarity with NumPy is preferred, since Pandas builds on top of it, but isn't strictly mandatory.

Who it's for: learners who want a properly thorough treatment of Pandas rather than just the basics, backed by extensive practice material.

About this course

Wanna learn Pandas?

Then boy do I have good news for you! For three months I hid from my wife and responsibilities, slaving away making this course so that you could learn Python Pandas. In this course, I cover topics like

Importing and installing pandas
Series
DataFrames
Indexes (including MultiIndexes)
Reading and writing to CSV
Merge, Reshape, Aggregation operations
Dates & times
Missing values
Strings
Categoricals

including tons of examples, animations, and practice problems with detailed solutions. But rather than me drone on about the course, check out some of my free lectures in the course curriculum to see it for yourself!

Need help?

If you buy this course, you'll have a commitment from me to help you understand any Pandas topics you might struggle with. I'm usually pretty quick to reply to questions.

Notes

This course was developed using Python 3.9.1 and Pandas version 1.2.0. If you're on a later version, don't worry - most of what I teach is unlikely to break.

Throughout this course, I use Google Colab as my IDE. You don't need to use Google Colab, but if you want to, it's a fantastic way to execute Python directly from your browser.

Also, you could take this course without knowing NumPy, but pre-existing knowledge of NumPy is preferred. After all, Pandas is built on top of it. And if you don't know NumPy, check out my course Python NumPy For Your Grandma.
