In the fall of 2019, the Python Software Foundation and JetBrains together conducted the official third annual Python Developers Survey. Much like the previous survey, we set out to identify the latest trends and gather insight into what the world of Python development looks like in 2019. The insights from 24 thousand Python developers from more than 150 different countries have helped us get a picture of the Python community.

Storytelling is an essential skill for us data scientists. To convey our ideas and be persuasive, we need effective communication. And aesthetic visualisations are a great tool for that. In this post, we’ll cover 5 visualisation techniques beyond the classics that can make your data story more aesthetic and effective. We’ll be using Plotly graphic library in python (also available in R), which provides animated and interactive plots with minimum effort.

About a week ago, someone texted me over the Instagram, and asked me if I have the time to answer the questions. I was curious about the questions and wanted to see those questions. I thought maybe they won’t take time and I can easily pass them with short answers. But I gotta tell, those were solid questions and made me spend a bit more time to answer. Here are the questions and my answers.
