Python for Data Analysis is written by Wes McKinney, the creator of pandas, and it's free to read online in its third edition. It teaches the tools you'll use every single day — NumPy arrays, pandas DataFrames, grouping, reshaping, time series, and basic plotting — with realistic examples rather than toy ones. Read it alongside a Jupyter notebook and retype the examples on a dataset you care about. It's not a statistics book, so pair it with the Statistics feed once you're comfortable.
