64: How do you get started with Pandas? (with Boris Paskhaver)

This week we were joined by Boris Paskhaver, a software developer, Agile consultant, online educator and author. Boris is based in New York City and has 240,000 students across 6 courses on the e-learning marketplace Udemy with over 1 million minutes of video content consumed monthly. In our discussion we talk about his upcoming book, *Pandas in Action*, as well as his own transition into coding. Boris was a data analyst before he was a software engineer, and found that Pandas was a great bridge between Excel and Python.So what actually is "Pandas" (spoiler alert: it's "Excel on Steroids" for Python). Why does Pandas make for such a good introduction to coding in general? And would Boris recommend a bootcamp to other people looking to kickstart their tech career? Find out all this and more in this week's Excel-superseding instalment of A Question of Code.Mentioned in this episodeBoris' book: Pandas in ActionUse code podcodeq20 for 40% off all products from Manning PublicationsPandasJupyter Notebooks
