python talk on data visualization - focused on matplotlib and bokeh libraries

Outline - SF Python Lightning Talk 2019.12.04

Bokeh overview Basic Interactions Linked Charts & Tables + Saving Data Elegent intuition - Fourier Transform Visualizations (extend Bokeh maintainer example) Live Streaming Data - Audio Spectrogram (extend Bokeh maintainer example)

Outline - Main talk

Introduction

Objectives

Understand why effective visualizations are important

Introduction to the grammar of graphics and how to choose the right visual approach

Get a snapshot of the python visualization universe

Explore Foundation - learn about matplotlib, understand core use cases & pitfalls + ways to make it better, do some live coding

Look at the Future - Learn about the bokeh library, learn about interactive visualizations, even more live coding

Notes

inspiration - effective visualizations

Illustrate Python Visualization universse; compare libaries - Matplotlib ; Bokeh; Plotly

Matplotlib -

Matplotlib - use to explore Challenger Disaster Visualization

Matplotlib - explain and demo different APIs

Matplotlib - illustrate simple ways to improve... & Matplotlib - you need to know it, and how to solve

Bokeh - the new hotness

Bokeh - syntax, basic cases

Bokeh - interactivity - hover, zoom, pan, linking

Bokeh - key concepts; some ideas

Bokeh - animation / streaming data
