Reinforcement Learning and Deep RL Python Theory and Projects - Loading the Data

The video tutorial covers importing data using pandas, loading it into Google Colab, and preprocessing it by converting date strings to datetime format. It also explains setting the date column as the index of the dataframe. The tutorial prepares the data for further analysis and model training in future videos.
