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.

Question:
I'm working on a project at the moment, which I'd like to eventually make public on github, but, for the moment, needs to remain private.
Github needs users to pay in order to host a private repository, which I'm unwilling to do, so just creating a private github repository is not an option for me.

Answer:
I'm dealing with the same thing. Unless that I cannot really have a private project on Github, because of unfair sanctions to some countries. I don't want to repeat the other answers, because they were straight forward, and I'm doing just the same. To add a bit information, if you don't like terminal environment and you don't want to go through every change and record them by your terminal, simply install Atom editor, install the Github plugin, in newer versions the plugin installed from the beginning and you really don't need to worry about it. When you created a folder you can initialize the git by either the Git icon or simply typing in the terminal at the exact directory:

git init

Then, when you add changes to your code or whatever, the git tracks it and you can commit your changes through the Atom editor. The only problem might be that you cannot use all of the commands that are available via terminal, but it's enough to actually work. But you can fill the gaps by using the terminal when you really need other git commands. This plugin is available on other IDEs as well. And works just fine.
