Every day, all around the world, programmers have to recycle legacy data, translate
from one vendor's proprietary format into another's, check that configuration
files are internally consistent, and search through web logs to see how many people
have downloaded the latest release of their product. This kind of "data crunching,"
may not be glamorous, but knowing how to do it efficiently is essential to being
a good programmer.
This book describes the most useful data crunching techniques, explains when
you should use them, and shows how they will make your life easier. Along the
way, it will introduce you to some handy, but under-used, features of Java,
Python, and other languages. It will also show you how to test data crunching
programs, and how data crunching fits into the larger software development picture.
