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](https://hashnode.com/@thedrewdag) I also find tools like graphviz to be very useful for drawing flowchart diagrams programmatically. Very well written article, thanks.

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!
