Data Science & Data Visualization in Python
summary
Argues that open data already exists in large unused volume and that turning it into policy requires concrete tools and deliverables: Anaconda and Jupyter notebooks for reproducible pipelines, Feather binary interchange to move data between languages, pandas/Ibis/Blaze for wrangling, and Bokeh interactivity plus Plotly JSON export (and Dash) to build deployable dashboards. Gives examples of data‑driven economic reforms and open‑data maps, explains tradeoffs between statistical models and deep learning, and shows which libraries actually work in production.
