Data Visualization with Python

Scatter plots with Matplotlib  I'm in the middle of taking a 6 week Data Visualization course at Code Academy  so I guess you might call this a midterm project. In this jupyter notebook project, we have use real world space data (celestial star location ) for the Orion constellation and output a 3D scatter plot. This was fun but because it is an intro course, the project didn't even get to labeling the actual star which I thought was bunk.  At the end of the project, they offer you a link  to some star data and challenge you to plot some local stars. So I decided to publish my results that I will end up turning in for the extra credit portion of the project. (code below) I picked a few stars, starting with some familiar ones, like Sirius, and started plotting it out.

003 - Convert User Creation to REST API endpoint using Django Framework

Stream Our Mistakes EP 003 In this episode, we will be working creating a REST API endpoint using Django REST Framework.  This will be a multi part series as I plan to use this backend with a Xamarin Android application. No guarantees it is going to work but I will attempt it anyways. This podcast/blog isn't called stream our mistakes for nothing aye? I looked over a few youtube videos, this blog post and the excellent Django Rest Documentation . Since this repo is not public, here is the code snippets that are relevant to the video. Please note: This project assumes you have already implemented Django Rest Framework in your project. In the Serializers.py file: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 from rest_framework import serializer from django.contrib.auth.models import User class UserCreateSerializer (serializers .
