A*bout Dash by Plotly <https://plot.ly/products/dash/> *- (
https://plot.ly/products/dash/)
Dash is an open-source Python framework for building analytical web
applications.  No JavaScript required. Built on top of Plotly.js, React,
and Flask, Dash ties modern UI elements like dropdowns, sliders, and graphs
to your analytical Python code.

During this workshop, we will take a look at possible uses and
implementations
of Dash and discuss the basics of creating a Dash app.
We will implement best-practices for styling apps and take a deep-dive into
applying callbacks and adding interactive elements. In addition, we will
have a step-by-step tutorial on how to deploy applications on the
On-Premise server.
There will be plenty of time for questions and hands-on work, and all
attendees are encouraged to bring their current projects and own datasets.

*Prerequisites*
The workshop will attend to (relatively) beginner level users. However,
Dash is
a python tool, and python terminal / command lines will be used throughout.
Attendees should bring their laptop computers to work through examples and
exercises, or to try to use Dash with their own projects and datasets.

*About the instructor*
Chelsea Douglas has been working at Plotly for 3 years on a variety of
projects
such as documentation, the python API, On-Premise solutions, and Dash.
She joined the Plotly team after finishing a Masters in Music Technology at
McGill
University, researching timbre and emotion perception in the Music
Perception and
Cognition Lab.
