Python Data Visualization: Dashboards With Plotly & Dash

Create custom Python visuals, interactive dashboards and web apps using Plotly & Dash, with unique, real-world projects

What you'll learn

Master the essentials of Plotly & Dash for building interactive visuals, dashboards and web apps

Design and format Plotly visuals, including line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, histograms, maps and more

Learn how to add interactive elements like dropdown menus, checklists, sliders and date pickers

Apply HTML and markdown components to design custom dashboard layouts and themes

Practice building and deploying your own custom web applications with Dash

Explore advanced topics like conditional and chained callbacks, cross-filtering and real-time automation

Requirements

We'll use Anaconda & Jupyter Notebooks (a free, user-friendly coding environment)

Familiarity with base Python and the Pandas library are strongly recommended, but not a strict prerequisite

Description

This is a hands-on, project-based course designed to help you master Plotly and Dash, two of Python's most popular packages for creating interactive visuals, dashboards and web applications.We'll start by introducing the core components of a Dash application, review basic front-end and back-end elements, and demonstrate how to tie everything together to create a simple, interactive web app.From there we'll explore a variety of Plotly visuals including line charts, scatterplots, histograms and maps. We'll apply basic formatting options like layouts and axis labels, add context to our visuals using annotations and reference lines, then bring our data to life with interactive elements like dropdown menus, checklists, sliders, date pickers, and more.Last but not least we'll use Dash to build and customize a web-based dashboard, using tools like markdown, HTML components & styles, themes, grids, tabs, and more. We'll also introduce some advanced topics like data tables, conditional and chained callbacks, cross-filters, and app deployment options.Throughout the course you'll play the role of a Data Analyst for Maveluxe Travel, a high-end agency that helps customers find flights and resorts based on their travel preferences. Your task? Use Python to create interactive visuals and dashboards to help Maveluxe's travel agents best support their customers.COURSE OUTLINE:Intro to Plotly & DashIntroduce the Plotly & Dash libraries, and cover the key steps and components for creating a basic Dash application with interactive Plotly visualsPlotly Figures & Chart TypesDive into the Plotly library and use it to build and customize several chart types, including line charts, bar charts, pie charts, scatterplots, maps and histogramsInteractive ElementsGet comfortable embedding Dash’s interactive elements into your application, and using them to manipulate Plotly VisualizationsMID-COURSE PROJECTBuild two working Dash applications to help the Maveluxe team visualize and explore data from ski resorts across the US and CanadaDashboard LayoutsLearn how to organize your visualizations and interactive components into a visually appealing and logical structureAdvanced FunctionalityTake your applications to the next level by learning how to update your application with real-time data, develop chained-callback functions, and more!FINAL PROJECTBuild a multi-tab dashboard to expand your mid-course project to ski resorts around the world, leveraging grid layouts, interactive elements and visuals, and advanced callback functionsJoin today and get immediate, lifetime access to the following:8.5 hours of high-quality videoPlotly & Dash PDF ebook (180+ pages)Downloadable project files & solutionsExpert support and Q&A forum30-day Udemy satisfaction guaranteeIf you're a data scientist, analyst or business intelligence professional looking to add Plotly & Dash to your Python skill set, this is the course for you!Happy learning!-Chris Bruehl (Python Expert & Lead Python Instructor, Maven Analytics)
