Introduction to Dash AG Grid - DataTable in Python

The video introduces Dash AG Grid in Python and shows ten practical configurations you can reuse. It starts with community resources including a GitHub repo and Ann Marie’s AG Grid examples, plus Plotly’s docs for props and patterns. A minimal example runs in about twenty lines, with the grid itself defined in a few lines. The presenter notes a common Mac issue and fixes it by enabling SSL. Installation is shown with pip for dash ag grid.
