Inhaltsangabe

Get to grips with pandas-a versatile and high-performance Python library for data manipulation, analysis, and discovery

Key Features

• Perform efficient data analysis and manipulation tasks using pandas
• Apply pandas to different real-world domains using step-by-step demonstrations
• Get accustomed to using pandas as an effective data exploration tool

Book Description

Data analysis has become a necessary skill in a variety of positions where knowing how to work with data and extract insights can generate significant value.

Hands-On Data Analysis with Pandas will show you how to analyze your data, get started with machine learning, and work effectively with Python libraries often used for data science, such as pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, seaborn, and scikit-learn. Using real-world datasets, you will learn how to use the powerful pandas library to perform data wrangling to reshape, clean, and aggregate your data. Then, you will learn how to conduct exploratory data analysis by calculating summary statistics and visualizing the data to find patterns. In the concluding chapters, you will explore some applications of anomaly detection, regression, clustering, and classification, using scikit-learn, to make predictions based on past data.

By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to use pandas to ensure the veracity of your data, visualize it for effective decision-making, and reliably reproduce analyses across multiple datasets.

What you will learn

• Understand how data analysts and scientists gather and analyze data
• Perform data analysis and data wrangling in Python
• Combine, group, and aggregate data from multiple sources
• Create data visualizations with pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn
• Apply machine learning (ML) algorithms to identify patterns and make predictions
• Use Python data science libraries to analyze real-world datasets
• Use pandas to solve common data representation and analysis problems
• Build Python scripts, modules, and packages for reusable analysis code

Architect enterprise-grade, Microservice-based solutions using Microsoft Azure Service Fabric. Key Features Explore architectural patterns for building modern day Microservice-based systems Learn about Microsoft Service Fabric as a platform to host distributed Microservices Discover multiple options for hosting Microservices on heterogeneous, cross-platform environments Learn to configure Azure Service Fabric clusters for enterprise-grade service deployments Book Description Microsoft Azure is rapidly evolving and is widely used as a platform on which you can build Microservices that can be deployed on-premise and on-cloud heterogeneous environments through Microsoft Azure Service Fabric. This book will help you understand the concepts of Microservice application architecture and build highly maintainable and scalable enterprise-grade applications using the various services in Microsoft Azure Service Fabric. We will begin by understanding the intricacies of the Microservices architecture and its advantages over the monolithic architecture and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. We will present various scenarios where Microservices should be used and walk you through the architectures of Microservice-based applications. Next, you will take an in-depth look at Microsoft Azure Service Fabric, which is the best-in-class platform for building Microservices. You will explore how to develop and deploy sample applications on Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to gain a thorough understanding of it. Building Microservice-based application is complicated. Therefore, we will take you through several design patterns that solve the various challenges associated with realizing the Microservices architecture in enterprise applications. Each pattern will be clearly illustrated with examples that you can keep referring to when designing applications. Finally, you will be introduced to advanced topics such as Serverless computing and DevOps using Service Fabric, to help you undertake your next venture with confidence. What You Will Learn Understand the basics of Microservices and how Microsoft Azure fits into the equation Master Azure Service Fabric architecture and services Explore Azure Service Fabric application programming models Comprehensive study of various architecture patterns for building enterprise-grade Microservices Manage and deploy Microservices on Azure Service Fabric An insight into the future of Microservices with containers and serverless computing Who This Book Is For The book is aimed at IT architects, system administrators, and DevOps engineers who have a basic knowledge of the Microsoft Azure platform and are working on, or are curious about, the concepts of Microservices and Microservice architecture.
