Ask HN: Which are the best resources to learn data wrangling, munging, etc.?

3 pointsby ggr2342almost 2 years ago
Data wrangling is often considered not a beautiful task, to put it nicely. But the skillset is an immensely important one, according to me. It opens new doors in places.<p>Python is a good scripting language for that purpose. SQL is also helpful (AFAIK). Where to learn all about data wrangling? Are there books, courses, tutorials?<p>What other tools or languages can one learn for the purpose?

If you are not averse to the R language, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;r4ds.hadley.nz&#x2F;data-tidy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;r4ds.hadley.nz&#x2F;data-tidy</a> is a good resource for skills and ideas that generalize beyond &quot;tidyverse&quot; and R.

I think you&#x27;re interested in keyword: ETL (Extract, transform, load)<p>(Specifically the &quot;transform&quot; part.)<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Extract,_transform,_load" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Extract,_transform,_load</a><p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?q=etl" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?q=etl</a>
