Observable is one of the most exciting (and constantly expanding) platforms to use for data analytics, visualization, storytelling, and collaboration. Its blend of easy-to-use click and drag features and customization makes it extremely popular for users across a wide range of skillsets. In this course, data analytics and visualization expert Bill Shander gives you an overview of the Observable platform, introducing the key features and functionalities with practical and tangible examples. Bill shows you how to get data into Observable, manipulate that data, and make visuals and reports with it. He demonstrates how to add interactivity to the reports, and how to make visuals in a variety of ways—some of which are one-click and others that offer more customizability with coding. By the end of the course, you will be able to spin up a new notebook, add data to it, and create a fully interactive data report.
