In their Resources tab, Tableau offers video tutorials, e-learning courses, and webinars to help every level of user improve their data visualizations. Along with articles, blogs, and white papers, Tableau has a huge collection of sample visualizations (including Viz of the Day, which showcases some of the best Tableau vizzes) that is meant to encourage and empower data pros at every level to turn their dull datasets into effective storytelling tools.

5. Python Graph Gallery

If you are looking to improve your skill in plotting data visualizations in Python, the Python Graph Gallery is a fantastic website to visit. This site created by Yan Holtz includes a wide range of different types of visualization plots, like bar graphs, line charts, times series charts, geographic maps, and many more. Along with each visualization, you will also find the accompanying Python code used to plot the viz. 

 

The site is organized first by plot type, but can also be sorted by the visualization Python package used, seaborn, matplotlib, or plotly. There is also a space for general knowledge tips and tricks, and a section titled Dataviz Inspiration, which can help you understand what Python is capable of.
