DESCRIPTION: "Animal face-off: Pandas vs. Polars – The battle of data ana
 lysis libraries in Python" - Arturo Ragalado \n\n In this talk\, Arturo wi
 ll present a relatively new data analysis library: Pola-rs. The new librar
 y claims to be a lightning-fast data frame library and a substitute to the
  industry standard Pandas. He will provide data analysis examples and chal
 lenges to discover the use cases of each library. \n\n Biography \n\n Artu
 ro is a doctoral researcher with the University of Aberdeen and the Nation
 al Decommissioning Centre. His research interest remains in the study of t
 he economic effects of financial security instruments in decommissioning o
 f oil and gas structures. He is an economist and data analyst with five ye
 ars of experience in processing and interpreting data to give actionable i
 nsights to decision makers. His previous experience in the energy sector i
 ncludes market advisory on oil and natural gas markets with special emphas
 is in modelling energy demand-supply outlooks as well as financial modelli
 ng of upstream activity. He has also worked for the Mexican Government in 
 agencies like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Anticorrupt
 ion System where he developed predictive and machine-learning models to in
 crease evidence-based decision making for the public sector. He holds a MS
 c in Petroleum\, Energy Economics and Finance from the University of Aberd
 een\, where he studied the effects of auction design on investment and dep
 loyment of renewable energy projects\, and a BA in Economics from the Nati
 onal Autonomous University of Mexico. \n\n If you don’t already have Pyt
 hon set up\, we can help you with that too. Coding in pairs or small group
 s (especially mixing beginner and more experiences coders) is strongly enc
 ouraged\, though you can also code solo. \n\n This event is orgnanised by 
 a charity - Code The City. CTC suggests a small donation to help with char
 ity admin costs\, but if this is a barrier please just change the ticket p
 rice to what you can afford. \n\n We're now back to planning physical even
 ts backed up with an online option. \n\n If you select a physical ticket a
 nd it happens that we can not meet physically you will have to attend the 
 Zoom session. If you choose a physical ticket and it goes ahead you will h
 ave to comply with any conditions of attendance (eg masks or social distan
 cing) that the venue operators demand at the time. \n\n Those attending th
 e physical space meetup should attend at 6pm for pizza and drinks. The cod
 ing session (for online attendees) will be from 6.30pm. Doors will be lock
 ed from 6.30pm. \n\n **If tickets are sold out please do not attend as you
  will be refused entry without a ticket. ** \n\n Our booking system is pro
 vided by Tito. Their platform is integrated with payment processing by Str
 ipe \n
