But nowadays investing isn't done in the same way as it was a couple of decades ago. Nowadays everything works with computers, algorithms, data science and machine learning. We already know that Python is the lingua franca of these fields. The people who don't educate themselves on this matter will be overrun by the development instead of benefiting from it.In the last volumes we learned a lot about data science and machine learning but we didn't apply these to anything from the real world except for some public datasets for demonstration. This book will focus on applying data science and machine learning onto financial data. We are going to load stock data, visualize it, analyze it and also predict share prices.The Bible of PythonWhy should you spend huge amounts of money and time just to read these 400-500 page books? They are overpriced and very dry to read. Programming is something practical. Of course theory is important but it's possible to keep it simple and precise. This is exactly what you will find in this book! Important theory precisely explained and backed up with lots of practical code. At the same time, you can finish this book in a few days because we are not beating around the bush!After reading this book you will be able to apply the advanced Python knowledge and the machine learning expertise that you've already got to the finance industry. Take time while reading this book and code along. You will learn much more that way. In a nutshell: You will have an amazing basis for your future programming and machine learning career.You'll have the following skills: - Deep Understanding of Machine Learning- Financial Analysis With Python- Analyzing Stock Prices- Visualizing Financial Data and Correlations- Calculating And Plotting Regression Lines - Predicting Share Prices With Machine LearningAlso, more parts of this series will follow and you will have everything structured in the most effective way!Excel at your programming career with The Python Bible
