Introduction to Python for Managers

Most people think programming is difficult because the code is hard to learn. But the truth is that coding is not the problem: thinking like a programmer is the real thing. To make it worse, not all programmers understand the pitfalls of the daily life of a manager with all the issues, resources and demands.
This book tries to bring the best of all worlds. Our main goal is to use practical business examples to show that every manager can use the marvelous technology tools to make their life easier.
Why Python and not other programming language? Two main reasons: first, Python is nowadays largely used in the business scenario, since it is a great tool for data science. Second, because it is a very friendly language. :-)
This book is organized in three sections:
Section 1 – The Toolbox: five chapters that will show you fundamentals of programming. Your main goal here is to know what Python can or cannot do. When you finish them, you will be able to develop several simple – but very useful! – applications in each chapter.
Section 2 – Data… Data everywhere!: the chapters from this sections are focused in capturing, treating and analyzing data. We will work with two libraries: Pandas and Plotlib.
