Data Visualization Principles
Choose honest encodings and pair visual comparisons with inspectable values.
A method you can explain.
Work through the reasoning, attempt the task and compare the separate solution. Keep your source copy unchanged and save your own evidence locally.
Before you start: Complete the earlier modules in this track; review the linked Foundations material where you need a refresher.
The suggested study time includes exercises. Use a spreadsheet or text editor for introductory tasks; code lessons use a local Python environment with the supplied setup guide. This website does not run arbitrary Python or upload your files.
Three lessons. One connected workflow.

Inspectable evidence.
Download the complete pack or choose individual files. Start with the dictionary and worksheet. Templates are deliberately unfinished; the separate worked reference contains explanations and solutions.
All data are fictional. Downloadable code uses local files and fresh output paths. Read the setup guide before running it. The offline HTML reference is static and does not execute Python or save progress.
Open the worked reference ↗Can someone reproduce your work?
Use the evidence-based self-review to check your method, validation and explanation. Keep unresolved questions visible. This is guided practice, not certification or production approval.
