 ## Documentation and Literature
 
 1. [Data Analysis Made Simple with Pharo DataFrame](https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-DataFrame) - a booklet that serves as the main source of documentation for the DataFrame project. It describes the complete API of DataFrame and DataSeries data structures, and provides examples for each method.
