This book is surely the book of the year published by O'Reilly. The organization of the book is well done, the Python code example are concise and clear, the mathematical explanation are clever and simple...


Sometimes when reading a book, the quality between chapters changes but here all chapter meet a very high level of quality. A must to have on your bookshelf if you deal with a lot of user-contributed data from web services.

"If I had this book two years ago, it would have saved precious time going down some fruitless paths."
