PyScript leverages on the web browser to act as a ubiquitous virtual machine to deliver unprecedented Data Science use cases. Data Visualisation is the first and perhaps the most straightforward context in which PyScript can have its say. In this talk, we will present how PyScript can change the way data visualisation apps can be designed and delivered for complex data science use cases.
PyScript has great potentials to changing the way in which Data Science can be delivered and democratised completely. By running Python directly in the browser, you can really get the experience of running Python anywhere, any time using the browser as a ubiquitous Virtual Machine.
Data Visualisation is the first and perhaps the most straightforward context in which PyScript can have its say. In fact, PyScript enables the creation of self-contained data viz apps, bringing the full Scipy/PyData stack directly integrated with interactive data visualisation frameworks, e.g. bokeh or panel. There's more! PyScript also allows direct integration with Javascript, allowing the development of full-fledged data viz apps using well-known JS library like Altair or D3.js
In this talk, we're going to introduce PyScript and we will present how PyScript can change the way data visualisation can be designed and delivered for complex data science use cases.
