Python for Data Science
From first print() to real data projects.
Learn Python from scratch through the lens of data science: fundamentals, data structures, and the NumPy/Pandas/Matplotlib toolkit. Then put it to work in two hands-on builds — a computer-vision app with OpenCV and MediaPipe, and a web scraper.

I read the free preview on a whim and ended up finishing the whole thing in two sittings. Superb pacing.

Finally a book that explains the hard parts without hand-waving. The figures alone are worth it.
