A Datasette tutorial in Portuguese. Nicolás Linares put together this Datasette tutorial in Portuguese, including an explanation of the project, how to get it up and running on a laptop, how to use it to explore and facet data, how to use plugins (including datasette-vega and datasette-cluster-map) and how to publish data using Vercel. I ran this through Google Translate and I can confirm that it’s a really well constructed tutorial—fantastic to see material like this starting to emerge in languages other than English.
