Have you ever been frustrated with data visualization in Python? Matplotlib – as powerful as it is – has a very clumsy syntax. It’s hard to use. Plotly is OK, but still feels complicated for more advanced visualizations. Personally, I’ve been frustrated with the data visualization options in Python, and I’ve been waiting for a … Read more
Data visualization is extremely important in data science. Although you often hear about the importance of data manipulation (i.e., “80% of data science is data manipulation”), data visualization is just as important. I explained why in a recent blog post about why you need to master data visualization. That blog post has a detailed explanation … Read more
