Technical requirements

This is another highly technical chapter with various code examples and exercises. So, like before, you need access to a computer with the following software to follow along:

• Python 3.8+; The pyarrow module must be installed and importable
• A C++ compiler supporting C++17 or better
• Go 1.21 or higher installed
• Your preferred IDE: Sublime, VS Code, Emacs, and so on
• The sample code and sample data in the GitHub repository for the book at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/In-Memory-Analytics-with-Apache-Arrow-Second-Edition
