This session will primarily be of interest to python beginners.|
|Tues 28 September 2021|13:00 - 14:00|Microsoft Teams|Discovering the Streamlit library||Streamlit is a fairly new Python library that allows users to easily build interactive dashboards without knowledge of Javascript. The beauty of Streamlit is that it is very well integrated with regular Pandas syntax, meaning there is often minimal effort in turning existing data manipulation scripts into elegant online dashboards! We will provide an example of Streamlit being used in Census Analysis Coordination. And also a quick walk through on turning regular pandas code into a dashboard.|
|Thurs 26 August 2021|13:00 - 14:00|Microsoft Teams|Automating the SDGs||The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) data team report a wide range of data on the [SDG data website](https://sdgdata.gov.uk/). For updates, data is taken from various sources and reformatted to fit the input requirements of the SDG website. The team are at the start of a project to automate these updates. The talk will cover the general architecture of the project, how to read excel files with complex structures using unpivotr (equivalent of Python’s databaker), and ways we try to futureproof the code (avoiding hard coding and using Rmarkdown). The talk will focus on R but is also relevant to Python.|

In this presentation, I’ll talk about how using spreadsheets for content and web-languages for templates, Python can rapidly produce web-ready products in seconds. I’ll also highlight how taking a flexible approach in designing the pipeline has paid dividends long-term by allowed the tools to grow to cover multiple thematic areas of official statistics.|

Along with the Longitudinal Educational Outcome data from DfE, we began analysing the supply, demand and average wages for STEM PhD graduates. In this Coffee and Coding session, we will explain the key stages within this project and the challenges we faced, as well as answer any questions you may have.|
