ggplot2-book VS website

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.

Hello all, I am a JS beginner and I am passionate for creating data-driven stories on a website, like Pudding. I have watched some YT videos and learned that Python is a basic skill for dealing with data. However, I am confused about what Python does in such website? I know JS and it libraries like D3.js are used for front-end development and interactive data display, then what's the role of Python? For the website backend (such as Django)? Or is used for data cleaning and analysis? Or others? Or python is not actually required for making a data-driven story website?

The main reason why I've got interested in frontend is that (1) it seems to be a field that can be much more diverse and collaborative across different fields (ex: working with designers) and (2) it directly interacts with users. Interactive journalism, data visualization, data storytelling (as in The New York Times or The Pudding) are my main interests currently, so it is more accurate to say I got interested in frontend with focus on those specific fields.
