This Python Data Visualization Course is a live, online introduction to data visualization development. During the course, you’ll learn how python is a helpful tool for anyone working with data visualization.
The end product of the course is small, personal, data art project. Here’s an example of a data visualisation that you’ll be able to make at the end (I printed it on a t-shirt):
This line is constructed in three steps:
- Sentiment analysis of music lyrics using an API
- Data visualisation of the analysis using Matplotlib
- Creative use of Matplotlib to make data art
And during the course, you’ll learn how to do this yourself!

Course context
The impact data has on our society is growing. Data and technology are behind some of the most successful companies. Being able to work with data through code is a valuable an scalable skill for any data professional. Python offers various benefits for anyone working with data.
Course outline
During the course, we’ll explore python by going through the process behind one my personal data projects. With my step-by-step guide and technical support, you’ll learn how to use python for data analysis and visualisation.
The program consists of the 4 online sessions:
- Theory & outline: during our first session, I’ll take you through the origin story of my data project, we’ll discuss the outline of the course and generate ideas for your own project.
- Getting started with Python: in the second session, I’ll help you get started with Python, we’ll work on some basic exercises, you’ll learn how to read files, analyse them using an API, and store the results in a csv.
- Visualising data: during our third session, we’ll visualise the data in various ways and I share some tricks that help you get from a basic plot to stylized plots.
- Showcase: during the final session, each participant shares their work.
Benefits of taking the course
You’ll have learned how python can help you in various steps of the data visualization workflow.
