Data visualization is one of the most important data skills. By improving your abilities to understand and draw plots, you dramatically increase your ability to communicate with data.

In this session, you'll learn key principles of data visualization, from understanding which plot to draw in common situations, to design techniques to improve your audience's comprehension.
