Python for City Government Process Improvement
Details
This week we'll hear from Jon Mease who is a data scientist and software developer at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and is also the lead developer and open source maintainer of the Plotly Python library!
We will discuss and demonstrate some of the exciting features that have been added to version 3 of the plotly Python visualization library. These include ipywidgets integration for building ad-hoc dashboards in the Jupyter Notebook, support for exporting publication quality static images, JupyterLab integration and more. We will conclude with glimpse into the future direction of the project.
