Banger. My gut feeling is telling me that I'll pretty much need this exact book in 2026.
I’m thrilled to share that my new book (Spatial Data Management with DuckDB) is now published! 🎉
At 430 pages, this book provides a practical, hands-on guide to scalable geospatial analytics and visualization using DuckDB. All code examples are open-source and freely available on GitHub.

In Germany, booking a doctor appointment is monopolised by a company which suffered data leaks, didn’t have 2FA, and got caught harvesting data.
