This is a great book with a lot of interesting examples. I really wanted to use it for my course but the code has so many problems from Quandl not working, to deprecated functions everywhere, to code dependencies that make it impossible to continue when one thing isn’t working. I don’t want to spend all my time debugging these libraries.
I really hope Stefan updates the code for the current libraries. Until then, I’m out.
Agree. The book is so good. I’ve pulled the code into Visual Studio and asked Gemini to help “fix it”. Gets some of it running but can’t fix some data sources that don’t work anymore…
Agreed. Did the same thing about three months ago, was able to get most of it to work, to a point, but most data sources are deprecated, libraries outdated and yes, one thing breaks the downstream and that becomes a chore to debug. I thought there was a third edition coming, that would have less friction in terms of application, but this is a pass for now (for me), you can piece together bits and pieces and adapt the information to suit your needs, but I would rather wait for an updated edition to revive this ambitious undertaking.
