Description
Python for Information Professionals: How to Design Practical Applications to Capitalize on the Data Explosion is an introduction to the Python programming language for library and information professionals with little or no prior experience.

Readers of Python for Information Professionals will learn to:
- Develop Python applications for the retrieval, cleaning, and analysis of large datasets.
- Design applications to support traditional library functions and create new opportunities to maximise library value.
- Consider data security and privacy relevant to data analysis when using the Python language.
