Get up to Speed With Polars: A Modern, Extremely Performant Data-Processing Library
Join a live Workshop with Enrico Erler to learn why Polars is faster and more reliable than popular alternatives such as Pandas, Dask and Spark
Workshop Agenda:
- Introduction to Polars:
- What makes Polars unique?
- Showcase: Transformations and Filtering
- Sneak-peak: Out-of-core processing with the streaming engine
- Get your answers at the source: Q&A with one of the founders of Polars
About the Workshop:
Written in Rust, Polars is extremely fast, supports out-of-core data streaming, true multithreading, a vectorized query engine, lazy evaluation, and much more. In most applications, it is faster and more reliable than popular alternatives such as Pandas, Dask and Spark. In this webinar, we will sneak-peak into the Polars API, and at the end of the webinar, you will also have the opportunity to meet one of the founders and get the answers to your questions directly from the source!
- When: October 22
- Time: 1-2 PM CET | 7-8 AM GMT-4
- Duration: 1 hour
- Online on Zoom
