Today is officially the launch day for the 2nd Edition of my book, "In-Memory Analytics with Apache Arrow"!! Gummi Bear the Chihuahua says you should go get yourself a copy and learn all about Apache Arrow, including the new data types that have been added over the past few years and integrations via ADBC and DuckDB, Spark, and more. Personally, I really like the snazzy new cover! Big shout out of thanks to my technical reviewers Raul Cumplido, Jacob Wujciak-Jens, and Weston Pace. Also thanks to the whole team at Packt who helped me make this happen: Shreya Moharir, Aparna Nair, and Nivedita Singh! Now go get yourself a copy and tell me how it is! https://packt.link/kjbT4 or https://lnkd.in/eZp58PJU Seriously though, feedback is awesome! Thanks everyone!

Did the dog write the foreword? Or anything? He appears insightful. I would like to meet him.
