Time to change my rating
Once I got past my misunderstanding in format things have been going quire well with this book.The author's use of the Python shell and it's instant result is a good idea. I'm using the iPython in the Jupyter notebook so I can put notes to keep and refer back to. The pandas library is complex and this book is greatly helping me to understand it, not just to be able to muddle through it.The book is very worthwhile if you plan to work through it thoughtfully. Without that effort you will probably be quite confused.

I strongly recommend this book
If you already have some background in python but are not a total expert in pandas, I strongly recommend this book. I walks you and motivates through the data structures that are used in pandas en explains their _raison d'être_. The style is easy read.Personally, I spent last semester going from a beginner to an intermediate/advanced level in python computing for data analysis. You sometimes wonder why there are out there so many data structures that seem to do the same thing (panda dataframe, numpy arrays, lists and dictionary) and when to use each. This is what I learned from this book. It systematically compares basic python with panda's and sometimes to numpy, and ultimately helps you to see how using them can improve your performance.I would not recommend it to someone with no background in python, let alone programming. You may wan tto look at Python for data analysis by Wes McKinney as a starter or, if you don't know any python _at all_ Learning python the hard way.

Excellent intro
If you are not a novice coder and need a crash course in pandas, this is the book for you. It is short but pretty informative and not the kind of "i got some notes so why not call it a book".

Very Informative
This book provides tons of practical solutions that I’ve been able to implement at work immediately after reading. Definitely a nice guide to have handy.

A good hello world book for pandas , but expect to be searching more on the web for answers then in this book.
Its a good hello world for pandas , but its incomplete for even a beginner to do real work. I ended up spending more time on the web finding answers then in this book. .

Clear and concise
Even after having some experience with panda already, I found this book a great bootstrap.
