Python Reading

• Read Lesson 2 from Learn Pandas Lessons.

Key Ideas

A data scientist must sometimes:

• Create Data (if it doesn't already exist)
• Access Data (that has already been created)
• Manipulate or Munge Data (that has already been input)
• Analyze Data (that has already been munged)
• Present Data (to help people understand it)

About the APIs

• Docstrings allow API developers to include usage instructions for their code
• Versions of software and APIs are generally numbered as changes are made
  
  
  • Ie: 3.8.5 (3: major release, 8 minor update, 5 little fixes)

Lecture Activity

• Understand bridger.py completely.

Active Learning

Modify the lecture code as follows.

• Plot the largest snowfall by year.
• Make Bridger Bowl the title of the chart.
• The lecture code draws a bar chart. Draw at least two other types of graphs with the data.
