Best of Core Forum: Python for Data Visualization
Date: Wednesday, April 10, 2024
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description: Python is a powerful, open-source, and popular programming language with a wide variety of applications in and out of libraries. Whether you’re presenting usage information or data from your own research, python can help transform your data from numbers into data visualizations, such as graphs, that can be shared with coworkers, administration, and publishers. Unlike software such as excel, python script can be shared and reused once written, providing you with the ability to add transparency and reproducibility to your processes and research.
In this workshop, we’ll cover everything you need to know to create these data visualizations – no previous experience required!

-
