TOP REVIEWS FROM PYTHON DATA VISUALIZATION

by FGDec 8, 2018

Great introduction to Python visualizations. The assignments are challenging but relevant and echo real world problems you might encounter.

by SXJul 19, 2018

The instructors are great, however, the library pygal is outdated, it does not support the newest versions of python.

by LEDec 10, 2019

Really well planned set of 4 courses, that have given me a good basis knowledge and have given me an appetite for further learning on Python

by CHJun 6, 2019

Great intro to python. I am taking a star away because I think a topic on OO python would have been very useful for me.
