Thanks so much for becoming a subscriber to Bamboo Weekly. My goal is to help you improve your data-analysis skills using Python, Pandas, and real-world data sets. I try to make BW interesting, educational, relevant, and even a bit entertaining.
For me, one of the most important aspects of Bamboo Weekly is the fact that we use real-world data. Such data is almost always flawed, dirty, poorly documented, and/or difficult to work with. The more you work with such problematic data in Bamboo Weekly, the easier it'll be to solve problems in your actual work.
What to expect:
- Every Wednesday, you'll get a new message from me with some background, a description of the data set, and two questions to answer – typically using Python and Pandas.
- Every Thursday, you'll get my detailed solution and explanation, walking you through every line of the queries I used to answer Wednesday's questions. I'll often explore alternative solutions, indicating why I chose one over the other.
Want even more?
You're currently subscribed to the free edition, which gives you two questions every Wednesday and two answers every Thursday.
If you upgrade to a paid subscription, you'll also get:
All of the questions and answers each week (i.e., not just the first two)
- Access to the full BW back catalog
- Downloadable data files
- My Jupyter notebook
- One-click Colab notebook
- Monthly office hours
- Comments on my posts
And if you want Python itself?
Bamboo Weekly is about data -- finding it, cleaning it, and asking it
questions. If you would also like to understand Python the language more
deeply, I write a second newsletter called Better Developers. It goes out on
Mondays, it has been running for eight years, and it is 100% free.
Each issue takes one idea – how iterators actually work, why mutable default arguments bite, what a decorator really is – and explains it properly, with examples you can run.
Have a look at Better Developers.
