Data Visualization with Plotly & Programmatic Back-ends

-Abstract:

This meetup will focus on exciting new web technologies for graphing and data analysis while discussing data visualization best practices. Further, the talk with elaborate on how Plotly (https://plot.ly/) remade historically important maps with a modern twist. Those participating in the demonstration will learn how to can make interactive versions of graphs (and many more) with Plotly, D3.js, Python, R and other programs.

Finally, the attendees will also learn about the functions in Plotly and how it can leverage for work and business.
