Overview of this book

Python-based data visualization uses the Python programming language and its libraries to transform data into visual representations, such as charts, graphs, and interactive dashboards. Python’s libraries, including Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly, and Bokeh, offer customizable plot types and interactive features to craft compelling visual narratives. Through data storytelling and customization, Python shares insights and effectively communicates them, making it an indispensable skill for anyone working with data. In this course, we will begin by grasping the importance of data visualization and exploring essential Python libraries such as Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly. You will learn to customize and enhance visualizations, adjust colors, labels, and legends, and understand the principles of effective data storytelling. The course delves into advanced topics such as creating interactive dashboards and dynamic data plots. We will work on practical projects and real-world examples to equip us with the skills to turn raw data into informative visuals using Python. Upon completion, we will master Python-based data visualization from core principles to practical skills, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly, and transform raw data into compelling visuals. We will acquire tools to create visuals, convey insights, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Plotting a Basic Stack Plot
In this video, we will begin our journey into stack plots by creating a foundational, basic stack plot in Matplotlib. This visualization technique represents the composition of data elements over time or across categories to display data relationships effectively.
