Preliminary Reviews

This is an excellent introduction benefitting from clear writing and simple examples. The pandas documentation itself is large and sometimes assumes too much knowledge, in my opinion. Learning the Pandas Library bridges this gap for new users and even for those with some pandas experience such as me.

I have finished reading Learning the Pandas Library and I liked it... very useful and helpful tips even for people who use pandas regularly.
