Become a more efficient and productive data scientist by leveraging the power of the command line. With this practical guide, you’ll learn seven command-line tools for obtaining, scrubbing, and exploring data—including three tools developed by the author. If you rely on one-time scripts for working with data, this book will help you understand why, how, and when to employ the command-line instead.
