• intro/02-LazyPolarsIntro.ipynb - an introduction to lazy mode in Polars

• filtering_rows/02-SelectingRowsFilter.ipynb - a key lecture where we learn how to use the Expression API to filter rows in Polars

• time_series/01-IntroTimeSeries.ipynb - the time series dtypes in Polars
• time_series/02-TimeZones.ipynb - converting between time zones in Polars

• ml/CatboostElectricityForecasting.ipynb - introductory notebook with a simple example of using Polars with Catboost to forecast electricity demand

I recommend cloning the repository and runnng the notebooks locally on your computer. However, you can run the notebooks interactively using binder by clicking the following link:

I run the code using docker. If you have docker installed then you:

• run the deploy.sh with bash as ./deploy.sh
• when the container starts in interactive mode run jlab to start the notebooks (jlab is an alias for jupyterlab I define in the Dockerfile)
• when jupyter is ready it gives you a web address that you can enter in your browser like http://127.0.0.1:8888/lab?token=e81f5485724f9107e2252fcf71d0eb2c76a027c1be1d10b7

• Run the pip-deploy.sh script
• Activate the virtual environment with source course_env/bin/activate
• Confirm the virtual environment is activated with which python. The output should end with course_env/bin/python
• Start the Jupyter notebooks with jupyter lab. This will either open the notebook in your browser or print a URL that you can use to open the notebook in your browser
• Check your installation by opening notebooks/TestInstallation.ipynb

• Open powershell in this directory
• Run the powershell script create-course-environment.ps1
• Run the powershell script activate-course-environment.ps1
• Confirm that the virtual environment is working: it should say course_env at the start of your powershell prompt
• Run: jupyter lab
• Check your installation by opening notebooks/TestInstallation.ipynb
