This is a repository for *short and sweet* examples and links for useful pandas recipes. We encourage users to add to this documentation.

Adding interesting links and/or inline examples to this section is a great *First Pull Request*.

Simplified, condensed, new-user friendly, in-line examples have been inserted where possible to augment the Stack-Overflow and GitHub links.  Many of the links contain expanded information, above what the in-line examples offer.

These examples are written for python 3.4.  Minor tweaks might be necessary for earlier python versions.
