This hands-on EU Code Week (https://codeweek.eu) online workshop on Friday October 25 is for everyone looking for a free, fast and simple to use database for analysing large amounts of data - with their very own laptop. Paraphrasing from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDB):

...DuckDB (https://duckdb.org) is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) originally developed by Mark Raasveldt and Hannes Mühleisen at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands and first released in 2019.... The project has over 6 million downloads per month... DuckDB is used at Facebook, Google, and Airbnb...

The followings will be covered:

• What is DuckDB?
• Why DuckDB?
• Using DuckDB via the command line interface (CLI)
• Using DuckDB via graphical user interfaces (GUI)
• Using DuckDB via the Structured Query Language (SQL)
• Using DuckDB via the Python programming language
• Hands-on "Big Data" use cases
• Hands-on Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases
• Comparing DuckDB with Apache Spark/Databricks
• Scaling DuckDB with MotherDuck

Seats are limited to 15! Sign up for free at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hands-on-duckdb-a-free-fast-and-simple-to-use-database-tickets-1029790470017. We will be speaking in English.
