Jupyter notebook and datasets from the pandas video series
A collection of Jupyter notebooks accompanying justmarkham's YouTube pandas tutorial series — 30+ videos covering the basics through intermediate topics like MultiIndex, merging, and performance. It's a learning resource, not a library; you clone it to follow along with the videos, not to import anything.
The question-driven structure ('How do I...') maps directly to things you'd actually Google, making individual notebooks easy to find and reference later. Real datasets (Titanic, MovieLens, Chipotle) are included so you can run everything without hunting for data. The later bonus notebooks on tricks and performance are genuinely useful even if you skip the earlier basics. Coverage of SettingWithCopyWarning and the axis parameter fills gaps that most pandas intros skip over.
Last updated March 2024, and pandas has moved fast — Copy-on-Write is now the default in pandas 2.x, which makes the SettingWithCopyWarning video actively misleading rather than just dated. No exercises or tests; it's watch-and-read-only, which limits retention. The free course mentioned in the README is hosted elsewhere so this repo is essentially just the notebooks without the surrounding structure. Nothing here you can't find in the official pandas docs or any of a dozen similar repos.
