Part 4. Working with data
In this part, you get some practice in using Python, and in particular using it to work with data. Handling data is one of Python’s strengths. I start with basic file handling; then I move through reading from and writing to flat files, working with more structured formats such as JSON and Excel, using databases, and using Python to explore data.
These chapters are more project-oriented than the rest of the book and are intended to give you the opportunity to get hands-on experience in using Python to handle data. The chapters and projects in this part can be done in any order or combination that suits your needs.
