It’s rare to find someone good at effectively communicating the meaning of data. On social media, I often see charts that look beautiful and clean and that evoke the “wow effect”, but which upon closer inspection fail to communicate the right meaning...

Besides the book that you recommend in the article, do you have specific resources to learn how to plot data effectively using python?

I started the Seaborn course on Kaggle, and I think it's good so far, but one or two more resources would be great. Thanks!

Hello. I highly suggest to go through this content to become proficient in visualizing data in Python:

seaborn and matplotlib for the basics
plotly for interactive plots
altair for statistics-empowered visualizations

Nothing else. You can generally apply the notions in this article with any of these libraries. It's more about the concepts rather than the tools.

Andrea D’Agostino I also find tools like graphviz to be very useful for drawing flowchart diagrams programmatically. Very well written article, thanks.

BrainQuest thank you for your comment :)

A very interesting read. I read half of it last week and I returned today to finish it. Now the bookmark will also help me as a guideline for my future presentations. Good work!
