-
Uses real data to explain key visualization tools and techniques
-
Explains industry standard plotting libraries, such as Matplotlib and Seaborn
-
Takes a hands-on approach and explains concepts with real-world examples
You'll begin with an introduction to data visualization and its importance. Then, you'll learn about statistics by computing mean, median, and variance for some numbers, and observing the difference in their values. You'll also learn about key NumPy and Pandas techniques, such as indexing, slicing, iterating, filtering, and grouping. You'll study different types of visualizations, compare them, and find out how to select a particular type of visualization using this comparison. You'll explore different plots, including custom creations. After you get a hang of the various visualization libraries, you'll learn to work with Matplotlib and Seaborn to simplify the process of creating visualizations. You'll also be introduced to advanced visualization techniques, such as geoplots and interactive plots. You'll learn how to make sense of geospatial data, create interactive visualizations that can be integrated into any webpage, and take any dataset to build beautiful and insightful visualizations. You'll study how to plot geospatial data on a map using Choropleth plot, and study the basics of Bokeh, extending plots by adding widgets and animating the display of information.
Data Visualization with Python is designed for developers and scientists, who want to get into data science or want to use data visualizations to enrich their personal and professional projects. You do not need any prior experience in data analytics and visualization, however, it'll help you to have some knowledge of Python and familiarity with high school level mathematics. Even though this is a beginner level course on data visualization, experienced developers will be able to improve their Python skills by working with real-world data.
