Python And HDF5 Unlocking Scientific Data Free Download

Python and HDF5

This Book is a perfect example of  a true Productivity and creativity booster.If you thought that the assertion 'HDF5 is simple was just a sick joke, I promise you , This Book will make you reconsider. As Python is increasingly used to handle large numerical datasets, more emphasis has been placed on the use of standard formats for data storage and communication. HDF5, the most recent version of the
 “Hierarchical Data Format” originally developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), has rapidly emerged as the mechanism of choice for storing scientific data in Python. At the same time, many researchers who use (or are interested in using) HDF5 have been drawn to Python for
its ease of use and rapid development capabilities. This book provides an introduction to using HDF5 from Python, and is designed to be useful to anyone with a basic background in Python data analysis. Only familiarity with Python and NumPy is assumed. Special emphasis is placed on the native HDF5 feature
 set, rather than higher-level abstractions on the Python side, to make the book as useful as possible for creating portable files.
