#### Your gateway to Extract-Transform-Load ( ETL ) & Machine Learning ( ML ). by Presenter: Robert Citek's

Embark on a beginner-friendly exploration of a powerful library that turns raw data into a playground for insights. In this introductory talk, we'll demonstrate how Pandas can help with the Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes, shed light on your data with its Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) methods, and get started with Machine Learning (ML).

#### Agenda:

##### * Getting Started with ETL:

• Learn the foundations of extracting, loading, and transforming data with Pandas.
• Discover how Pandas simplifies the initial steps of preparing your data.

##### * Playful Exploration with EDA:

• Take a casual stroll through your data with Pandas' user-friendly Exploratory Data Analysis tools.
• Get acquainted with simple yet powerful techniques to understand your dataset.

##### * A Peek into Machine Learning with Pandas:

• Dip your toes into the world of ML as we showcase how Pandas contributes to the early stages of the ML journey.
• Explore basic concepts of data preparation for ML tasks.

##### * Hands-On with Google Colab:

• Immerse yourself in practical examples using Google Colab.
• Experience the simplicity and collaborative nature of working with Pandas in a cloud-based environment.

##### * Why Attend:

• Perfect for beginners exploring data manipulation and analysis.
• Gain familiarity with using Pandas for your initial data tasks.

## BASE Topic: ASCII Cinema (aka "Asciinema")

### Presenter: Sean Twiehaus

Save, share, and replay your terminal sessions with Asciinema.
Abstract:

### Asciinema is a free and open source solution for recording terminal sessions and sharing them on the web. Similar to script and scriptreplay. https://asciinema.org/.

Similar to last month's **script replay** BASE topic; but, with some really neat features.
