This month's APUG session

Our February session will take place on 09 February 2022. It will start at 18:30.

The format is

• 18:30 Talk: Arturo Regalado - "Deploying your data analytics Python project using Heroku"
• 19:00 Project teams in break-out rooms (Beginner and Intermediate).
• 20:30 Project round-ups

Description

Tools such as web scraping and data mining are useful to get insights from data, nonetheless, another key part of a project of this nature is how to share all of the generated knowledge with other people. In this talk, Arturo Regalado will talk us through some of the most common issues and tricks needed in order to deploy a dashboard or data analytics project online using a popular framework called Heroku.
