Week 10 Videos¶
Adding a title in Altair (4:27)¶
Some options for customizing the display of charts in Altair.
f-strings (4:39)¶
The modern way to include variables within strings in Python.
DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) (4:47)¶
An important piece of coding style that I’ve neglected to emphasize so far in Math 10. If you find yourself copy-pasting some portion of code repeatedly, that is almost surely a sign that you should be using a different strategy. Here we use the DRY principle to display 30 variants of the same Altair chart.
Alternatives to Deepnote (5:00)¶
Deepnote has worked well in Math 10, but it’s important to be aware of some of the more widely used alternatives, especially:
Jupyter notebook and Jupyter lab which run on your computer.
Google colab which, like Deepnote, runs in the cloud.
