Course Description
Producing high-quality, interactive visualizations historically required complex code, extensive time, and effort. Not anymore. In this course, you’ll learn how to create publication-quality graphs harnessing the power of JavaScript, without leaving the comfort of the Python programming language we all love. You’ll create, style, and customize a variety of stunning, interactive graphs—using datasets ranging from stock prices to basketball team stats, and even penguin beak sizes! Using the Plotly charting library, you’ll also learn to customize interactivity such as hover information, range sliders, custom buttons, and even drop-downs that reactively change the visualization. Are you ready to level-up your data visualization skills?

Advanced Customization
Take your Plotly graphs to the next level with more advanced customizations. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to layer multiple interactive chart types in the same plot (such as a bar chart with line chart over the top). You’ll then create time-series selectors, such as year to date (YTD), to help you zoom in and out of your line charts.

Advanced Interactivity
In this final chapter, you’ll harness Plotly’s advanced user interactivity as you learn how to create buttons, dropdowns, and sliders that change everything from graph types to annotations and much more. Take your Plotly skills to the next level and build truly interactive user experiences.
