In 2021, in collaboration with Kevin Kho, I presented a brief introduction to FugueSQL
, a language that allows heavy SQL users to work on Python-based DataFrames, at the 2021 BudapestBI
conference
At the time I was helping the project to improve its tutorials & documentation, so maintainers Kevin & Han Wang gave me the opportunity to pitch in on an upcoming presentation. Kevin & Han were a joy to work with during that brief stint.
At the time I felt that Fugue
was freeing up a lot of complexity in the Python
data space by providing a unified interface to computing libraries/frameworks & wanted to spread the word. Just write SQL
or Python
& Fugue
handles running it on Spark/Dask/DuckDB
etc. It was really very liberating.
I felt a little bit of an imposter presenting a FugueSQL
tutorial having not really used FugueSQL
myself in any great depth!
I drifted from the project as my focus shifted more towards web development.
