INTERACTIVE DATA VISUALISATION
14.10.2024 – 16.10.2024
Data Visualisation plays a crucial role in transforming complex datasets into easily understandable and insightful representations. It allows individuals, businesses and researchers to uncover patterns, trends, and relationships within their data. Proficiency in Data Visualisation not only improves one’s analytical capabilities but also increases their capacity to convey insights in a visually compelling manner, ultimately contributing to more informed decision-making and successful outcomes in various professional contexts.
Learning goals
In this course, participants will learn how to create a wide variety of visualisations, from basic line charts to intricate choropleth plots, using Plotly, a powerful Python graphing library that enables the creation of interactive, professional-quality graphs and charts. Participants will also learn how to customise visualisations in terms of layout, colour palette, interactivity and more. Finally, participants will get introduced to Dash, a Python framework built on top of Plotly, designed for building intuitive and customisable web-based dashboards.Content
