Summary

We have covered quite a bit of information in this chapter with Python. We started out by taking a simple dataset from the human resources department for AdventureWorks and we were able to show how the vacation hours of each job title were distributed across the entire company using both a histogram as well as a normal distribution plot. We used popular plotting libraries such as matplotlib and seaborn to quickly visualize the data derived from our human resources query. Finally, we were able to deliver our visualization and analysis easily to others for consumption with the Jupyter Notebook. In the next chapter, we will change gears and move away from programming languages as a means for business intelligence. We will develop a sales dashboard using one of the most popular data discovery and visualization tools, Tableau.
