There's over 40,000 houses in the data set so instead, we're going to use pandas to load the data set and create a table of the first 100 houses so that we can view it in our web browser. Let's close this and open up view_data.py. pandas makes loading data sets very easy. First we use the read_csv command to load the data into a data table. A data table is kind of like a virtual programmable spreadsheet. Once our data is in the data table object we can do many of the same calculations with the data that we could do in the spreadsheet application.
