[Python Series] Python 101: Polars Exploration In-Person
This hands-on 90-minute workshop introduces you to Polars DataFrame - Python's high-performance alternative to pandas, designed for speed and efficiency when working with structured data. Perfect for those ready to explore next-generation data processing tools.
In this session, we will learn:
1) Load and explore data from CSV files using Polars with lazy evaluation techniques
2) Perform essential DataFrame operations: filtering, sorting, and transforming data using Polars' expressive syntax
3) Work with time series data on Polars
Who Should Attend:
Python users with basic pandas experience who want to explore faster data processing alternatives. Some familiarity with DataFrame concepts helpful but not required. Participants are expected to bring their laptop to this workshop.
Participants who attend at least three Python 101 workshops will receive a digital badge to recognize their learning achievement.
