Review of 'data crunching'

There's a review of 'Data Crunching' by Greg Wilson over at
TechBookReport. This is not a teach-yourself Python book but one that
uses Python to solve various common data-related tasks with regular
expressions, XML, SQL and so on.

The review is here: http://www.techbookreport.com/tbr0172.html

hi i'm learning python, and one area i'd use it for is data management in scientific computing. in the case i've tried i want to reformat a data file from a normalised list to a matrix with some sorted columns. to do this at the moment i am using perl, which is very easy to do, and i want to see if python is as easy. so, the data i am using is some epiphyte population abundance data for particular sites, and it looks like this:

The following is an extract of a review of 'Murach's C#' book, from TechBookReport (http://www.techbookreport.com): 'Murach's C#' is a single volume introduction to object oriented programming, .NET, C#, ADO.NET and Visual Studio all rolled into one. If that sounds like ambitious for a single volume then you're right - each of those topics is worth a book (or two or three) - but then this is a pretty hefty book (whether you're talking in...

Hi all. Question: I have a project nearly complete written in VB.Net using charts from 3rd party vendors...expensive, yes, fast, not really. The data I am plotting is about 30 columns by 3000-9000 rows, all in a tab delimited file(43 files total). My question is whether or not I can accomplish the same in Python utilizing Matplotlib or Chaco for plotting, at a much faster speed. In my app it takes a while to loop through all the...

Ok. Brand new at this so please give a little patience and help me on the baby steps. I'm rewriting something I did initially in PHP / MySql on a vb.net / mysql platform. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Data is pulled from the internet and stored to a CSV file 2) Data is loaded into the database with some changes 3) All sorts of data crunching goes on. Step one works fine -- data is saved to a csv file. Step 2 -- The data is loaded...

I would be grateful if someone had a minute or two to review my hash table implementation. It's not yet commented but hopefully it's short and idiomatic enough to be readable. Some of the code (i.e. the get_hash function) is borrowed from various snippets I found on the net. Thee free function could probably need some love. I have been thinking about having a second linked list of all entries so that the cost of freeing is in proportion to...

I found this quite interesting. However, it seems to assume I have a schema defined in an xsd or xdr file. I get a data feed that appears to be well formed XML, but there is no schema. Is it possible to bulk load XML data without a schema file being available? If not, is there a tool that will create a schema from a sample XML file?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
