———————————————————————————

We’re really looking forward to our eleventh Scalable Pandas Meetup!

  • What: Matt Harrison (Python expert, author of Effective Pandas, and Ponder Advisor) will present a pandas demo for finance using Ponder. Doris Lee (CEO and Co-Founder of Ponder) will describe how to get started with Ponder. They will then answer questions from the audience and moderator, Peter Olson (Chief of Staff at Ponder).
  • When: Thursday, June 1st, 10:00 – 10:45 AM PT.
  • Where: Online (Zoom).
  • How: Join the Zoom call directly here.

This meetup is the eleventh in a series of conversations centered around how you can leverage pandas at scale. The Scalable Pandas Meetup is a forum dedicated to developers, data scientists, and data engineers to share their stories, practical advice, examples, and best practices around scaling pandas workflows.

For the recording of our last meetup, see here.

What is the focus of these meetups?

  • To learn about the technical challenges and existing solutions for making pandas performant with large dataframes and complex workloads.
  • To discuss and envision next-generation solutions to those problems so that more enterprise-quality, production-level work can be done with the pandas API.

Who is the intended audience of these meetups?

We welcome all pandas users, enthusiasts, gurus, masters, who are ready to take their pandas skills to the next level with a community of like-minded peers. Our content will be geared towards intermediate and advanced pandas users, especially those who find themselves:

  • Using pandas with data larger than 500 MB
  • Crafting their own custom workflows to parallelize pandas
  • Leaving the pandas ecosystem to do things that pandas should be able to do
  • Agreeing to duel (joust, etc.) ruffians who besmirch the honor of pandas!

We’re excited to see you on Thursday!
