Python Hands-On Course: Interactive Maps and Bar Chart Races

Welcome to the Python Hands-On Course: Interactive Maps and Bar Chart Races. In the first part of this course you will be exposed to the main functions of the Folium library which is a python library that allows you to create beautiful maps with almost zero effort!

We will use this library to create two main projects – the final maps are shown in the introduction video, so you will know exactly what you will learn from this course!

In our third project you will be able to create the famous bar chart races that gathered millions of views on Youtube! You will notice how powerful is Python and how easy is to create these beautiful visualizations!

For this course I’m going to use Jupyter notebook but feel free to use your favorite text editor.

This course is done on a Windows 10 machine but all concepts are applicable to any computers!

A basic understanding of the Python programming language and of the Pandas library is required to easily follow all videos.
