We are increasingly living in a world where technological lines are blurring, operating systems are becoming irrelevant and programming languages are becoming similar to each other.
Such a thing is happening in the world of Data Engineering and Data Sciences too. No longer are these two world viewed as two distinct worlds, but as one leaning off the other.
This meetup explores the implosion of these worlds.
