DuckDB reposted this
Sometime around 18 months ago, I noticed there was a critical mass of excitement happening around #DuckDB. A number of people whose opinions I value and trust were saying some very bullish things about its applications for data engineering and data science, and so I decided it was time to jump down the rabbit hole. 🦆 🐇 ✨ Turns out this rabbit hole went a little deeper than I expected. 18 months later, I'm very happy to say that 'Getting Started with DuckDB: A practical guide for accelerating your data science, data analytics, and data engineering workflows', by Simon Aubury and myself, is now available! 🎉 Whether you’re a seasoned data practitioner or new to working with analytical data, this book will help you quickly get across where DuckDB sits in the data ecosystem and understand how you can apply its powerful and versatile analytical capabilities in your workflows and projects. The book is available in both physical and e-book forms: https://packt.link/byKYt Thanks to Kris Jenkins for being our first reader and writing us such a lovely forward. Thanks to our amazing technical reviewers Torsten Grust, Louisa Lambrecht, Björn Bamberg, Tim Fischer, and Denis Hirn from the database systems research group at Universität Tübingen. And thanks to our wonderful Packt team: Deepesh Patel, Shreya Moharir, Kirti Pisat, Hemangi L, Seemanjay Ameriya, and Nivedita Singh.
