Level up your viz skills: from Matplotlib to HoloViz
11-09, 14:45–15:30 (America/New_York), Central Park West (6th floor)

Are you a data scientists who use data visualization to understand data and tell stories? Do you use Matplotlib? Are you interested in leveling up your visualization skills with HoloViz? HoloViz is a Python visualization ecosystem comprising eight libraries, which gives you the superpower to help you understand your data at every stage needed.


This talk will start from your familiar Matplotlib syntax and transition to the HoloViz syntax. You will learn how to build visualizations easily even for big and multidimensional data, how to turn nearly any notebook into a deployable dashboard, and how to build interactive drill-down exploratory tools for your data and models without having to run a web-technology software development project.
