Monthly Melbourne Python Meetup

Come and join us for another interesting and fun meeting of fellow Pythonistas!

Visualisations are an integral part of any exploratory data analysis. The landscape for Python with visualisation is shifting from static images (produced by packages like Matplotlib) to browser-based plotting that supports interactivity.

This month's main presentation will provide an introduction to the the Plotly package within the context of exploratory data analysis. It will demonstrate some of its capabilities, highlight its strengths, point out its weaknesses and compare it to Matplotlib and R's ggplot2, all using the public data set on performances by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

Jiun Siew gave this presentation to the R meetup group last week and he has graciously offered to give it again for us, in a Python context.

Please let us know if you'd also like to give a talk!

We'll order some delicious pizza for after the talks.

Thanks to Hub Melbourne for hosting the June meeting!
