The joy of text

Leave your pretty GUIs at home, kids! Graham Faulkner is going off-road data wrangling, with only a few Python tools and his native wit to survive. Watch him:

• create fake data with csvfaker
• create a database from CSV with his bare hands (and csvs-to-sqlite)
• review data in the browser with Datasette
• extract tabular data from PDFs with Camelot

We’re not in Excel now, Toto! This is one you won’t want to miss.
