Craig Savage & Ned Letcher: Data Viz with R & Python
Channel: Melbourne Data Visualisation Meetup
Date: 2021-06-07

In this presentation, Craig and Ned take it in turns to go through different parts of the R and Python ecosystems that are often involved in doing data viz. Taking it in turns across R & Python, they cover wrangling your data into shape, libraries for producing static and dynamic plots, libraries for producing spatial visualisations, strategies and libraries for reporting, as well as libraries for producing interactive data apps. 

This presentation will be useful for those wanting to dive into one or both of R and Python for doing data viz. It should also be of interest for people already familiar with one of the languages and are keen to see what life is like on the other side.
