About 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.
