Book Announcement - Awesome Strava Charts with Plotly & Dash
Learn how to make irresistible charts and build an interactive dashboard in one afternoon.
If your charts are an eyesore, it’s not your fault.
Data visualization is often treated as an afterthought, something to “get through” or “pick up along the way.” You don’t always spend the time needed to learn how to tell a compelling story with data. As a result, your charts blend in and you fail to deliver the message, no matter how valuable the information is.
But that can change in just one afternoon.
My new eBook teaches you how to create engaging visualizations using data that matters to you—not some generic dataset we’ve all seen before. Instead, you’ll work with your own (or my) Strava workout file.
In just a few hours, you’ll improve your data visualization skills and create charts that grab attention. You’ll finally be able to tell a strong, data-driven story that stands out.
What You’ll Get in This eBook
The responsive dashboard you’ll build with Python and Dash includes four main components:
User Input: Allow the user to upload a GPX file and enter their age.
Comprehensive Ride stats: Duration, distance, total climb, and descent.
Interactive Map: A precise plot of your route.
