[Chicago] Ask ChiPy: How would you invest on building skills this year?

[Joshua Herman]

If I have $100 to spend to improve myself I probably would invest in
buying books related to data science and machine learning. I actually
have done this. One of the books I bought is Python for Data Analysis:
Data Wrangling with Pandas,
NumPy, and IPython
