Description

This course first equips you with the fundamentals of Python and then progresses to teach you how to use various libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Seaborn, Bokeh, and so on. This course contains several mini projects so that, by the end of this course, you will be equipped with the essential tools you need to become a visualization expert.

Data visualization has gained a lot of traction resulting from an increased focus on data analytics. To be a successful data scientist, data manipulation and wrangling are not enough. Visualizing data to garner insights is an equally important tool in the data science toolkit. Given the myriad types of data that exist, visualization has become an increasingly important topic. This course will equip you with all the skills you need to successfully create insightful visualizations. The course first starts with the fundamentals of Python. Then, the course teaches you how to use libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Bokeh, and so on. Additionally, you will learn data manipulation, which is the step prior to visualization. You will also learn how to plot geographical data using Folium. Each module in the course has practical hands-on mini projects, and with the mammoth content, this is one of the most comprehensive courses you will be doing on data visualization in Python. By the end of this course, you have not only learned the theoretical fundamentals of visualizations but also gained essential practical skills to explore this growing domain.
