There are many tools and techniques that a data scientist is expected to know or acquire as problems arise. Often, it is hard to separate tools and techniques. One whole section of this book (four chapters) is dedicated to teaching how to use various tools, and, as we learn about them, we also pick up and practice some essential techniques. This happens for two reasons. The first one is already mentioned here – it is hard to separate tools from techniques. Regarding the second reason – since our main purpose is not necessarily to master any programming tools, we will learn about programming languages and platforms in the context of solving data problems.
