Course Description

This is a hands-on, project-based course designed to help you learn two of the most popular Python packages for data visualization and business intelligence: Matplotlib & Seaborn.


We'll start with a quick introduction to Python data visualization frameworks and best practices, and review essential visuals, common errors, and tips for effective communication and storytelling.


From there we'll dive into Matplotlib fundamentals, and practice building and customizing line charts, bar charts, pies & donuts, scatterplots, histograms and more. We'll break down the components of a Matplotlib figure and introduce common chart formatting techniques, then explore advanced customization options like subplots, GridSpec, style sheets and parameters.


Finally we'll introduce Python's Seaborn library. We'll start by building some basic charts, then dive into more advanced visuals like box & violin plots, PairPlots, heat maps, FacetGrids, and more.


Throughout the course you'll play the role of a Consultant at Maven Consulting Group, a firm that provides strategic advice to companies around the world. You'll practice applying your skills to a range of real-world projects and case studies, from hotel customer demographics to diamond ratings, coffee prices and automotive sales.

Mostly a powerpoint presentation. It still was ok up to the assignment. Some of the instructions are flat out confusing. I spent a longer time trying to understand the instructions rather then actually performing the work. Odd that this is one of the higher rated matplotlib courses on this platform. I expected a course on matplotlib but it is HEAVY with pandas transformations. Hope your google-foo is good.

By Hassan Osseiran on 12/13/2025

It has been a pleasure taking Chris’ Python courses. This is the third course I’ve completed, and Chris has done a fantastic job of breaking down the material in a clear, structured way. He explains the key concepts in Matplotlib and Seaborn with clarity and reinforces them through well-designed assignments that make learning more effective.

By Chris Stevenson on 8/20/2025

Good instruction, good exercises, good broad overview. I like how the instructor is pretty careful to say when things are his opinion; on the one hand it is great to see how an experienced data analyst uses these systems, on the other hand it is nice to know there are other options. I wish the projects were a *little* more self-guided. I also wish there was more about integration of seaborn and matplotlib. I think there should be more links to the docs or similar good resources for given lectures to allow more exploration. Recommended course. Did exactly what I hoped/expected.

This is the fourth course I took taught by Chris Bruehl. Consumed the contents with great satisfaction and highly recommend these courses for folks serious about data analysis. Having said that, it takes tremendous amount of practicing hours to get comfortable with all the minutiae for making a perfect chart.

By Logan West on 9/1/2023

I really appreciated all the information in the course. I learned some new tricks and found lots of the examples to be very useful. The one critique I have may be personal but I found I would have liked just a little bit more handholding, particularly with the projects. I realize in real-life the problems are very open-ended but I was sometimes at a bit of a loss to understand what the instructions wanted me to accomplish!

By Jair Ernesto Díaz Ramírez on 1/10/2023

Excelente curso, ya sabia graficar de forma basica con plt, pero este curso me ayudo a ampliar los tipos de graficos y a poder personalizarlos mucho mas. Las explicaciones son claras, el instructor provee toda la información del curso por lo que el repaso y la solución de bugs es muy facil. Recomendado.

By Yoke Fei Pang on 1/8/2023

Prior to this course I had very limited experience working on Pandas, Matplotlib and Seaborne. However, by the end of this course, I became fairly confident in utilising what I had learnt in my work environment. This course is very balanced! An easy to follow comprehensive introductory course and a fairy technical introduction for advanced customisation. Very practical! I hope the creator will continue creating more similar courses (perhaps a part to for advanced seaborn/matplotlib)!

By John Paul Cruz on 1/5/2023

This was my 3rd course with Chris Bruehl and Maven Analytics. He teaches everything here what we have to know about Data viz thats what quite confusing in Pandas course but of course Its for data wrangling. Anyway, i will be waiting the 4th course. Last, sir Chris i wish you could read this. Can you give me cheatsheet you're using? I hope you dm it if you hav time. Thank you

By Colin Tomb on 12/20/2022

This is my third Python course from Chris and I have gained a wealth of knowledge across the board. I know I can instantly use the skills acquired in my job. To me, that direct transferability into a real-world analytics setting, is why Maven Analytics is a cut above the rest. Looking forward to the Plotly and Dash course.

By Jay Harrison on 11/30/2022

I was hoping to find a course that would allow me to make comparisons between Python's graphics and R's ggplot2 "Grammar of Graphics" package. This course provided that by showing how to customize Matplotlib plots.
