This weeks Data Science Book is "Interactive Dahsboard and Data Apps with Plotly and Dash" by E. Dabbas. In our lives as data scientists and machine learning engineers, we are often called upon to develop Dashboards and other Data Drive apps to communicate results or to monitor the performance of models deployed to production. Plotly and Dash are the current State of the Art libraries for interactive visualizations with a web frontend. This book does a remarkable job of getting you up to speed with both of these libraries taking you from basic to advanced level through practical building blocks that you can immediately customize for your own use.
