About this Item

Neuware - SummaryDask is a native parallel analytics tool designed to integrate seamlessly with the libraries you're already using, including Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-Learn. With Dask you can crunch and work with huge datasets, using the tools you already have. And Data Science with Python and Dask is your guide to using Dask for your data projects without changing the way you work!Purchase of the print book includes a free Elektronisches Buch in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. You'll find registration instructions inside the print book.About the TechnologyAn efficient data pipeline means everything for the success of a data science project. Dask is a flexible library for parallel computing in Python that makes it easy to build intuitive workflows for ingesting and analyzing large, distributed datasets. Dask provides dynamic task scheduling and parallel collections that extend the functionality of NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn, enabling users to scale their code from a single laptop to a cluster of hundreds of machines with ease.About the BookData Science with Python and Dask teaches you to build scalable projects that can handle massive datasets. After meeting the Dask framework, you'll analyze data in the NYC Parking Ticket database and use DataFrames to streamline your process. Then, you'll create machine learning models using Dask-ML, build interactive visualizations, and build clusters using AWS and Docker.

About this title

Synopsis

Large datasets tend to be distributed, non-uniform, and prone to change. Dask simplifies the process of ingesting, filtering, and transforming data, reducing or eliminating the need for a heavyweight framework like Spark.

 

Data Science at Scale with Python and Dask teaches readers how to build distributed data projects that can handle huge amounts of data. The book introduces Dask Data Frames and teaches helpful code patterns to streamline the reader’s analysis.

 

Key Features

• Working with large structured datasets
• Writing DataFrames
• Cleaningand visualizing DataFrames
• Machine learning with Dask-ML
• Working with Bags and Arrays

 

Written for data engineers and scientists with experience using Python. Knowledge of the PyData stack (Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn) will be helpful. No experience with low-level parallelism is required.

 

About the technology

Dask is a self-contained, easily extendible library designed to query, stream, filter, and consolidate huge datasets.
