Communicate the data that is powering our changing world with this essential text The advent of machine learning and neural networks in recent years, along with other technologies under the broader umbrella of ‘artificial intelligence,’ has produced an explosion in Data Science research and applications. Data Visualization, which combines the technical knowledge of how to work with data and the visual and communication skills required to present it, is an integral part of this subject. The expansion of Data Science is already leading to greater demand for new approaches to Data Visualization, a process that promises only to grow. Data Visualization in R and Python offers a thorough overview of the key dimensions of this subject. Beginning with the fundamentals of data visualization with Python and R, two key environments for data science, the book proceeds to lay out a range of tools for data visualization and their applications in web dashboards, data science environments, graphics, maps, and more. With an eye towards remarkable recent progress in open-source systems and tools, this book offers a cutting-edge introduction to this rapidly growing area of research and technological development. Data Visualization in R and Python readers will also find: Coverage suitable for anyone with a foundational knowledge of R and Python Detailed treatment of tools including the Ggplot2, Seaborn, and Altair libraries, Plotly/Dash, Shiny, and others Case studies accompanying each chapter, with full explanations for data operations and logic for each, based on Open Data from many different sources and of different formats Data Visualization in R and Python is ideal for any student or professional looking to understand the working principles of this key field.

How do you turn raw, unprocessed, or malformed data into dynamic, interactive web visualizations? In this practical book, author Kyran Dale shows data scientists and analysts--as well as Python and JavaScript developers--how to create the ideal toolchain for the job. By providing engaging examples and stressing hard-earned best practices, this guide teaches you how to leverage the power of best-of-breed Python and JavaScript libraries. Python provides accessible, powerful, and mature libraries for scraping, cleaning, and processing data. And while JavaScript is the best language when it comes to programming web visualizations, its data processing abilities can't compare with Python's. Together, these two languages are a perfect complement for creating a modern web-visualization toolchain. This book gets you started. You'll learn how to: Obtain data you need programmatically, using scraping tools or web APIs: Requests, Scrapy, Beautiful Soup Clean and process data using Python's heavyweight data processing libraries within the NumPy ecosystem: Jupyter notebooks with pandas+Matplotlib+Seaborn Deliver the data to a browser with static files or by using Flask, the lightweight Python server, and a RESTful API Pick up enough web development skills (HTML, CSS, JS) to get your visualized data on the web Use the data you've mined and refined to create web charts and visualizations with Plotly, D3, Leaflet, and other libraries
