We've covered a lot of topics at the NYC Data Science meetup, but we haven't yet had an entire talk devoted to data visualization. For our next meetup, we're changing that! We're excited to welcomeMatt Sundquist, a co-founder atPlotly, which is a great online tool for graphing and sharing data.
Says Matt: "Plotly is a platform for analyzing data and making interactive graphs. It's collaborative, free, and entirely online. In this talk, we'll look at how Plotly works, using the web interface to make 2D, 3D, and live-streaming graphs rendered with D3.js, a JavaScript visualization library. We'll delve into IPython and Plotly's packages and support for Python, matplotlib, R, ggplot2, MATLAB, Julia, Excel, Mathematica, and more. We'll also discuss lessons learned in building a web-based graphing product."
See you there! Also stay tuned for details about our next meetup, featuring a talk by Jake Hofman of Microsoft Research.
