VegaFusion added support for #DuckDB, so you can plot charts directly in Altair without using pandas as an intermediary, here analysing 182 Million records of NY Taxi dataset, aggregated to 36000 data point. colab.research.google.com/drive/19V1xn6c…




Thanks to the PyDataSeattle organizers for the opportunity to present on VegaFusion. Here are my slides from today: drive.google.com/file/d/1rQ1OD4…

If you’re at #JupyterCon, say hi to Dylan Wootton @scipy25! who’s working on an exciting new Pythonic visualization package that builds on top of #Altair/Vega, Vega-Lite & Altair




Solara is a new react-style framework for Python, now with support for interacting with Altair selections! Great to see more dashboard solutions support the Vega, Vega-Lite & Altair ecosystem!

Excited to release this new project on scalable interactive visualization - spanning the web, notebooks, and servers - in collaboration with Dominik Moritz of CMU Data Interaction Group. Big thanks to DuckDB, ApacheArrow, Observable Plot, and others for the tools that made it possible!

My PyDataSeattle 2023 talk on scaling Vega, Vega-Lite & Altair Altair with VegaFusion is now on YouTube! youtu.be/8vI0o8CuhLI

I didn't get a chance to present my lightning talk at #SciPy2023, so thought I'd record and share it here Declarative visualization in Python using Vega, Vega-Lite & Altair Vega-Altair youtu.be/7E4rw5nPSZQ

The UBC Master of Data Science program and the UBC Computer Science dept are hiring two Assistant Professors of Teaching!!! Come work with us! Focus areas are of interest to the committee: - #CloudComputing - #Database - #MachineLearning cs.ubc.ca/our-department…


It might be Friday the 13th, but don't let that scare you 😱 from applying to our job postings for Assistant Professor of Teaching Positions in the UBC Master of Data Science program and UBC Computer Science department! Deadline is one day before you trick or treat! 🎃 👻🧙♀️ cs.ubc.ca/our-department…

Feels so natural to see past interaction states and be able to branch off of them for analyses. Great job @kbgadhave Zach Cutler and @alexander_lex!
