Description

This course will take place, from 1:30pm - 5:00pm (GMT), on the 28th of January. We have an early bird offer of £100, which runs until the 31st of December. The price is £125 thereafter.

Python has a number of packages for the effective creation of graphics to communicate your data insights. This one day course will examine a range of packages for building impactful visualisations. During the training session, we'll cover the main Python plotting libraries: plotly, matplotlib and seaborn. Additionally, we discuss how to effectively use faceting and layers in a graphic.

Course Outline

  • Matplotlib: Introduction to one of the go to visualisation libraries for Python that integrates well with the prominently used Pandas package data structures.
  • Plot building: Create more complex plots built up of separate layers or multiple plot panels.
  • Seaborn: Seaborn is a very useful graphics package built on top of Matplotlib to aid in easy creation of beautiful statistical graphs.
  • Faceting: Create insight in data structure with easy creation of plot facets.
  • Plotly: Plotly is a very exciting graphics package which makes it trivial to add interactive elements, such as hover information, tooltips, zooming and even full animations, excellent for presenting your data in a digital format such as a webpage or dashboard.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to…

  • Use a range of techniques for communicating their data insights
  • Create beautiful, interactive graphics
  • Compose complex visualisations as well as standard displays such as scatter plots, histograms, barcharts, boxplots and more.

Prior Knowledge
