# These are the Jupyter Notebooks behind my O'Reilly report, # [*A Whirlwind Tour of Python*](http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/a-whirlwind-tour-of-python.csp). # The full notebook listing is available [on Github](https://github.com/jakevdp/WhirlwindTourOfPython). # # *A Whirlwind Tour of Python* is a fast-paced introduction to essential # components of the Python language for researchers and developers who are # already familiar with programming in another language. # # The material is particularly aimed at those who wish to use Python for data # science and/or scientific programming, and in this capacity serves as an # introduction to my upcoming book, *The Python Data Science Handbook*. # These notebooks are adapted from lectures and workshops I've given on these # topics at University of Washington and at various conferences, meetings, and # workshops around the world. # ## Index # # 1.
