In terms of what type of viz we are teaching, I would say static plotting? Is that sufficiently specific? In the past I was teaching from @hadleywickham.bsky.social + coauthors R4DS textbook and was happy with that.

We have time/resources to translate whatever book we choose into Altair. Below is the table I made which led us to Altair. We are not wedded to Altair if there's something obviously better in Python.

Other: dashboards currently in Shiny and maps in geopandas-matplotlib (but open to iterating)

Thanks Alex I & Alex K! (Great to meet u Alex K!) We are teaching in Python and currently teaching Vega/Altair (which I am happy with). This year we taught from this text which was fine on learning Altair syntax but has too little conceptual material on how to do viz well idl.uw.edu/visualizatio...
