ggplot2-book VS PythonDataScienceHandbook

I also only recently started using ggplot after doing most of my graphs with base R‘s plot() function. I started by reading ggplot2 by Hadley Wickham which is also available as a free ebook. Reading the first few chapters is enough to enable you to plot many basic plots. I can’t imagine going back to any other visualization tool ever again. Absolutely love the freedom ggplot gives you.

His ggplot book will teach you all you need to know about R plotting, and is probably right at your current level. It is likewise pretty great, ggplot

The OG book is still the best in my opinion! https://ggplot2-book.org/

You could use base R, see ?plot but a lot of people would use ggplot2. However, looking at your data it won’t look very good because there’s going to be very few points per country.

If you included DESCRIPTION to your repository (like in ggplot2-book - https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2-book/blob/master/DESCRIPTION ) devtools::install_deps() and renv::install() will install dependencies listed there as would pip with requirements.txt , you can trigger this from your R script, from command line or from whatever deployment / automation tool you are using.

Chapters 1-8 of https://adv-r.hadley.nz/, https://r4ds.had.co.nz/ , and https://ggplot2-book.org/ were covered in my statistical computing courses. I don't think it gets much more advanced than that at the undergrad level.

Python Data Science Handbook

Python Data Science Handbook — learn to use Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and related tools to effectively store, manipulate, and gain insight from data

I don't know what tools you will be using but if you will be using Python you can start with Python Data Science Handbook by Jake VanderPlas and Data Science & Big Data Analytics: Discovering, Analyzing, Visualizing and Presenting DataData Science & Big Data Analytics: Discovering, Analyzing, Visualizing and Presenting Data which gives a very good outlook on the data science and big data frame work. PS: Jake's book is also available as jupyter notebooks so you can read and run the code at the same time.

Otherwise you can work through courses on Datacamp, Coursera, Udemy, etc, or check out this book for a more general non-spatial perspective.

7. Data Science Handbook Are you looking for a comprehensive guide to data science with Python? Look no further than the Data Science Handbook by Jake VanderPlas. This repository contains the entire book, which introduces essential tools and techniques used in data science, including IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-Learn. It’s a fantastic resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of data science concepts and best practices.
