Complete Course on Data Visualization, Matplotlib and Python

COURSE IN THE NUTSHELL

1. Concise and to the point, as I appreciate your time and don't have the luxury to tell you my story

2. Easy to understand and tailored for a broad audience, as it only requires a basic knowledge of Python and only.

3. This course is brought to you by the author of "Beyond the Numbers: The Art and Science of Data Visualization''

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

"This is a great course! Bekzod's instruction is very clear and concise. I went from having zero knowledge of Matplotlib to creating highly customized visualizations within hours. Prerequisites in Python and Pandas are not necessarily needed but understanding the basics in both will maximize your experience in this course. I recommend to open a blank notebook and following along with Bekzod, pausing along the way read the help documentation he references, as well as read any code snippets you may not understand right away. It takes a little longer to finish the course but it's more than worth it. I'm looking forward to additional courses offered by Bekzod." - Jeff Dowden

"You can learn how Matplotlib works from scratch, including Seaborn. The best part of the course is Matplotlib Anatomy. If the lecturer provided materials into one ZIP file, that would be perfect. I enjoyed taking this course very much." - Jonsuk P.

"This is one of the most detailed course on matplotlib library available on the internet. After taking this course, finally I can access plot internals and manipulate/customise it in unlimited ways. I think once anyone complete this course, they can learn and implement advanced libraries very easily." - Rahul R.

"Outstanding and thorough course. Be sure to take your time with the first section so you have a good understanding of the basics. The course material makes for a very good reference tool after you have completed it." - Max L.

"This is the course is the type of course which makes learning super easy. Thanks for making this course it helped me a lot in making my projects more understandable." - Vaibhav Dinesh S.

"I learn a lot from the lesson until now. This lesson improves my understanding of OOP. It is so easy, interesting and amazing to use python to visualize data from the perspective of OOP." - Haitao Lyu

"This course is completely amazing. Direct to the point and use real data not simulation with numpy as usually others did. Great job Bekzod!! " - Hartanto

"'I've used Matplotlib and Seaborn for a number of years. I was reviewing this to see if it was a good introduction for people I work with. The answer, yes. It's a very good introduction that covers some of the critical details necessary to navigate Matplotlib in order to customize plots." - Stephen Basco

TELL ME MORE...

After completing this course you will master Matplotlib on an intuition level and feel comfortable visualizing and customizing Matplotlib, Seaborn and Pandas charts of any complexities. More specifically, this course is a great resource if you are interested in:

1. How Matplotlib Works

2. How to create charts from simple to scientific ones with Matplotlib, Pandas and Seaborn

3. How to customize charts of any complexities with ease

To achieve the objectives, I split this course into the following sections:

Matplotlib Anatomy

As the name implies, in this section you will learn how Matplotlib works and how a variety of charts are generated. 

It gives you a solid understanding and a lot of aha-moments when it comes to creating and / or customizing charts that you haven't dealt with before.

Create 2D Charts

In this section, you will generate plethora of charts using Matplotlib OOP, and Pandas and mix them together to achieve the maximum efficiency and granular control over graphs.

Axes Statistical Charts

Here we will learn how to make statistical charts such as Auto Correlation, Boxplots, Violinplots and KDE plots with Matplotlib OOP and Pandas.

Seaborn

Seaborn, a high-level interface to Matplotlib helps make statistical plots with ease and charm. It is a must-know library for data exploration and super easy to learn. And in this section, we will create Regression plots, Count plots, Barplots, Factorplots, Jointplots,  Boxplots, Violin plots and more.

Course Summary and Exercises

This section has dual purposes. 

For one, it is a good summary of the course and provides you with exercises to test your knowledge and then provide solutions for comparison.

Secondly, If you are short-on time, you can start here and then move to other sections if you seek more granular coverage of the topic or when you have more time available.

TOOLS USED

1. Jupyter Notebook (IDE)

2. Matplotlib 2.x

3. Seaborn 0.8.1 or above

4. Pandas 0.22 or above
