Member Mike Dahlberg writes: “I’ve learned Python and data sciences from Reuven. But not just that. From Bamboo Weekly, I’ve learned how to find incredibly diverse sources of data, how to analyze them and what questions can be asked of the data. I learned how to have fun with data.“

And member Lynne Thoma writes: “The environment is extremely welcoming, even for very simple questions. The Bamboo Weekly challenges are awesome and I always learn new techniques for organizing and interpreting data.”

Our three-part plan for your Pandas success:

1. Massive Practice: Bamboo Weekly

Every Wednesday, get 5-10 Pandas questions using real datasets, based on topics in the news.

Recent topics include:

• Winter Olympics
• The price of gold
• University rankings
• Congestion pricing in New York
• Kalshi
• Flu season

You’re not working with toy examples. You’re answering real questions using messy, real-world data — the kind that actually prepares you for a job.

Over a year, that’s 250+ exercises with real data. And of course, you’ll also get the solutions, including step-by-step explanations and downloadable notebooks to explore on your own.

Get access to hundreds of Pandas exercises

2. Expert Help When You’re Stuck: Pandas Office Hours

Practice is great until you hit a wall. That’s why members get live Pandas office hours on Zoom. Share your screen, ask questions, and get personalized help when you’re stumped.

You’re also invited to Python office hours, as well as two members-only lectures each month, one on general Python topics and about Pandas and other data-related topics.

And if you need help outside of office hours? Just post your questions to our private Discord server. I’ll personally answer your questions.

This is the difference between getting frustrated and actually learning. When you’re stuck on an exercise, I’ll walk you through it and explain why your approach didn’t work.

3. Structured Learning: Complete Pandas Courses

Sometimes you need to step back from exercises and learn a concept systematically. Members get access to complete Pandas courses that build your mental models, from basics to advanced topics.

Each topic is addressed in detail, live-coded into a Jupyter notebook that you can download and explore yourself. Plus, the Pandas courses include dozens of exercises. But you won’t just get the solutions to those exercises: Reuven walks you through each solution, step by step, in his Jupyter notebook, often pointing to alternative solutions and why you might (or might not) want to use them.

And if you’re stuck on an exercise? Or don’t understand why Reuven solved it the way he did? Then just pop into Discord, and ask!

Think of it this way: Bamboo Weekly gives you practice. The courses give you understanding. Office hours give you support.

Imagine: You get a Bamboo Weekly exercise that stumps you. Instead of giving up or spending 2 hours Googling, you post it in Discord and get help. Or you bring it to office hours and I walk you through it.

That question that would have frustrated you? Now it’s a learning opportunity.

Then you apply what you learned to automate hours of manual work at your job. That’s what happens when practice meets support.

Get access now, even if you’re just planning ahead. You’ll have the roadmap, exercises, and Discord access ready when you are. Check it out at https://lernerpython.com/pricing/ .
