Data Visualization Bootcamp

In October 2023, we hosted a workshop about data visualization.

About the workshop

A key aspect of data science is turning data into a story that anyone can understand at a glance. In this Data Visualization Bootcamp, you will learn how to represent data in visual formats like pictures, charts and graphs.

In this workshop you will:

  • learn the most important principles of data visualization,

  • learn how to use data visualization libraries in Python (with Bokeh and Pyodide),

  • develop your own Panel/hvPlot/Bokeh dashboard to interactively visualize data.

Plenary instruction is combined with hands-on practice with your own datasets in small groups. The workshop will cover how interactive visualizations and dashboarding in Python/Bokeh differs from RShiny. You will learn how to run Bokeh Apps in the browser via Pyodide (no server required).

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to create powerful storytelling visuals with your own research data.
