Data Visualization Lab

Python is a great programming language because of its versatility, ease of use, and wide adoption. However, Python by itself is not all that useful for data analysis because it requires a visualization component in order to determine the behavior of the data. In this lab, we will combine the Python programming language with additional software and Python libraries to add a data visualization component. We will explore why we need data visualization and also discuss the correct and incorrect ways for displaying results. Lastly, we will explore how vendors are using data visualization to tell a story or relay message regarding IT security.
