Polars is a new library with a Pandas-like API but much faster performance. How can we use it? And how does it compare with Pandas? In this course, I'll introduce you to Polars, using it to analyze a variety of types of data. You'll come out familiar with this library, and why you might (or might not) want to use it.
Note: This is included in my Python+data membership.
Among the topics we'll cover:
Reading CSV
Series and data frames
Filtering rows
Expressions
dtypes and missing data
Sorting
Grouping and pivot tables
Joining and merging
Strings and datetimes
The lazy/eager API
Converting to/from Pandas
