Part 1. Foundational Approaches

 

In part 1 of this book, we will discuss foundational approaches regarding performance with Python. We will cover native Python libraries and fundamental data structures, and how Python can—without external libraries—make use of parallel processing techniques. An entire chapter on NumPy optimization is also included. While NumPy is an external library, it’s so crucial to modern data processing that it’s as foundational as pure Python approaches.
