Nice video! As a someone that uses and loves Polars, you might consider adding Polars into the title/description...etc. (though I'm not YT algorithm expert) but in general, since Polars is newer there are currently fewer educational resources vs. Pandas and this is a really great walk through! Thanks for the great video!

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Thanks - yeah good idea. I’m new to polars but I love it so far

Python: the tool of choice for people who will ever need to do something more than once 🐍🐍 Excel: the tool of choice for restrictive IT environments, where they wont let you have Python.

Basically!

Some guys will not move from excel/vba or microsoft env

Goolge Colab - Run Python in the browser. On Google's computers. No install or permissions needed. Just have to give all your data to Google 😧😧

Great content. I'm enjoying polars so far and I am happy to migrate to it.

[@tmb8807]

Good stuff. Nice to see Polars being adopted. I would prefer to use Python myself but sadly it’s an absolute no-no for our IT. So I’ve got stuck in with Power Query and I’ve found that it is actually very capable. The concepts are pretty similar. The mashup language is apparently derived from F#. Main difference I’ve found with writing the code is just that commands/functions have to be nested rather than chained. It’s more verbose and can be less readable but ~all the functionality is there.

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Yeah power query is great for what it is, I have friends in data jobs who are masters with it. For me it just didn’t make sense though as I had the option to learn and use Python and end up with a wider more useful skill set

[@tmb8807]

@@JohnWatsonRooney Completely agree. Much more transferrable.

I feel you man

Just in time for lunch :)

[@intercooler1983]

Why not only Power BI?

[@ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid]

Polars is good, like its cousin Pandas, they can only do simple queries, if you need to do some complicated joins, updates, you will need a proper RDBMS.

[@JohnDoe-bq5oo]

why do you always shill 7 different libraries?

[@bc4198]

Because it's reflective of how people use Python? Otherwise... "To learn more about the logic behind this, sign up now for Brilliant!" 😉😆
