This book was a truly different learning experience. Rather than focusing on some principles with small projects, it is massive project after massive project. The approach to building nd learning items is awesome, and could be an excellent reference for those developing exclusively in Python. Even without that emphasis, the access to the GitHub pieces to explore and template. It always helps me to be able to look through how others solve problems, and this did exactly that for me. If the hardest part of coding for you is getting started with that template, you could definitely use this book.

Overall, it is a great book! Not for beginners, this book is for experienced programmers who want to improve their skills by completing professional-level Python projects. It’s also for developers who need to display their skills by demonstrating a portfolio of work. The included projects require a wide variety of skills, including software and data architecture, design, Python programming and test design. You can download the code bundle for the book on GitHub.This book is all about data handling. The great and unique feature of the book is that it provides big project after another big project. Starting with Acquiring Data From Sources, the first six projects will cover projects to acquire data for analytic processing from a variety of sources. Next topic Inspect and Survey includes five projects to inspect data to make sure it’s usable, and diagnose odd problems, outliers, and exceptions. The general analytics pipeline moves on to Cleaning, Converting, and Normalizing. There are eight projects that tackle these closely-related problems. The useful results begin with Presenting Summaries. There’s a lot of variability here, so only two project ideas included. This book winds up with two small projects covering some basics of Statistical Modeling. Author encourages you to continue your study of Python applications in the data science realm.Completion of the projects will place you on another level in Python. Enjoy the challenge in every project!

The projects presented in the book are presented with a focus on how to approach them. The projects are not completed, they are meant to help the reader get started and finish on their own based on the approaches detailed in the book. This is not the normal programming book that provides all source code and then explains it – this requires more from the reader. Personally, I think this is a great approach. We learn to program by programming and this book will push you to the limit.

"Python Real World Objects" appears to provide a practical, project-based approach to mastering data handling in Python. It walks us through the full data analytics pipeline, from data acquisition to statistical modeling. With its focus on real-world applications and step-by-step projects, the book offers valuable insights to enhance our skills.The gradual project methodology used in the book, together with the incorporation of concepts such as online APIs and JSON Schema, helped me to become familiar with the complexities of processing data at the business level.

Unprofessional content formatting/layout. Repetitive content. Incomplete code provided.It seems like the text has been automatically generated and then adapted or revised.I don't understand the other reviews, with 5 stars. They encouraged me to buy this book, but now I feel deceived.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
