# BigFrames (BigQuery DataFrame) basics

Work your warehouse the way you already work a dataframe

## What this does

You think in dataframes, but the data lives in BigQuery. This writes Python using BigQuery DataFrames, which follows the pandas and scikit-learn style you already know. Reach for it in a notebook or wherever you would rather write dataframe code than SQL. If the work is SQL-first, use bigquery-basics instead.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write BigFrames code against BigQuery data
- Do dataframe work in a notebook
- Build machine learning steps in a familiar style

## About BigFrames (BigQuery DataFrame) basics

Generates Python code using BigQuery DataFrames, the pandas and scikit-learn style API over BigQuery. Use it when you are writing BigFrames code, or doing dataframe and machine learning work against BigQuery in that idiom, a notebook included.

It is the wrong choice for SQL-first workflows or for the google-cloud-bigquery client library. Those belong to bigquery-basics.
