[CentralOH] Recent DoJo Topics

[pybokeh]

I agree with Eric, thanks Travis for running the Python DoJo!

I have posted this before, but here's my pandas cheat sheet:
https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/pybokeh/jupyter_notebooks/blob/master/pandas/PandasCheatSheet.ipynb

I also wholeheartedly recommend Pandas Cookbook by Ted Petrou
https://www.amazon.com/Pandas-Cookbook-Scientific-Computing-Visualization/dp/1784393878
I usually recommend it over Wes McKinney's book.  I think the official
pandas docs can be used to replace Wes' book, but that is IMO.

If you've heard of Dask and want to get into distributed computing with it,
here's a good article on Dask:
https://towardsdatascience.com/why-every-data-scientist-should-use-dask-81b2b850e15b
and also worth checking out are the 2 YouTube video links at the end of
that article.

Also, has anyone heard of Riot.im?  It's like Discord, but to a wider
audience than gamers.  Anyways, I'm on it regularly in the #pydata room.
