Data Visualization with PyScript
Tell engaging stories with data using Python in the browser.
A well-designed visualization can communicate to nearly any user, and Python is one of the most utilized and powerful data analytics tools available. Doesn't it make sense to combine the powerful data tools of Python and the very best web visualization tools?
If this sounds attractive, this course will teach you to create data visualizations and share them without needing hosting setup, environment creation, or other Python methods. This is possible by leveraging PyScript.
This course will make you understand how to create web-ready visualizations directly with Python that you can share on- or offline without needing a complicated setup. Also, you can take existing Python scripts and share them with non-technical users without packaging or environments.
What you'll learn—and how you can apply it
By the end of this hands-on course, you’ll understand:
- Basic functions and application of PyScript
- How PyScript can be used to display and share data visualizations
- How to visualize data on the web using Python APIs with little setup
- How to interact with data and Python on the web
And you’ll be able to:
- Create a basic PyScript application
- Run Python in the browser
- Create a basic data dashboard using Python
This training is for you because…
- You’re a student or experienced data scientist looking to learn a new way to bring data visualizations to the web
- You work with data and create visualizations
- You wish to become a data analyst or data scientist
- You want to learn to make visualization apps in Python that can be shared easily
