Good Book for Intermediate Level Users
I am yet to complete the entire book.So far I felt the contents are explained in simple English and with clear screenshot of the tools.This makes the book easy to understand for a fresher who has less hands on experience on the tools.This books also provides Github links where sample dataset is uploaded which is used in the book itself, so that reader can simultaneously work along with the chapters covered as they progress.Once I complete this book, will update my final review.
