SQL and Python: The not so slippery bits

For our April 2022 meeting we'll have a talk from Jonathan Stott.

Jonathan is Head of Data Engineering for Evergreen Life, and has been working as data person for longer than he cares to think about right now. To distract himself from this, he tries to cycle a lot and go for long walks in the countryside

If you're working with data, the chances are sooner or later you'll need to use some SQL to get at part of it. Or you have some information of your own that you want to store, and you're wondering how to do that. In this talk, Jonathan will cover what SQL is, why you might want to use it, how you interact with SQL datastores from python, as well as some introductory SQL queries. Along the way, he’ll introduce concepts like Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs) and why you may or may not want to use them, and the SQL database available in the python standard library!

Hope to see you there
