about the technology
Every dataset tells a story. After you’ve cleaned, crunched, and organized the raw data, it’s your job to share its story in a way that connects with your audience. Python’s Altair data visualization library, combined with generative AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, provide an amazing toolbox for transforming numbers, code, text, and graphics into intuitive data presentations.
