We're back and talking data this month with David Gold and Structured Queries.

Thank you to eBay NYC for hosting.

About the talk:

This talk will discuss current trends in the development of generic tabular data frameworks in Julia. Well see how Julias metaprogramming facilities support a data manipulation/query interface that is generic over different types backends from in-memory Julia objects to database connections. Well also see how the development of such an interface dovetails with work to decouple other related functionality, such as modeling and IO, from Julia's primary tabular data structure, the DataFrame type. Finally, well muse on what these current trends might suggest for future development of Julias statistics and data science ecosystem.
