Why and how should you learn "Productive Data Science"? - KDnuggets

Data science and machine learning can be practiced with varying degrees of efficiency and productivity. Let's imagine somebody is teaching a "Productive Data Science" course or writing a book about it -- using Python as the language framework. What should the typical expectations be from such a course or book? The course/book should be intended for those who wish to leapfrog beyond the standard way of performing data science and machine learning tasks and utilize the full spectrum of the Python data science ecosystem for a much higher level of productivity. Readers should be taught how to look out for inefficiencies and bottlenecks in the standard process and how to think beyond the box.
