This data analysis project aims to examine the popularity of various programming languages over time based on Stack Overflow posts using Pandas and Matplotlib.
- Collect Stack Overflow posts data related to programming languages, including the language tags, post dates, and other relevant information.
- Ensure the data is representative and covers a significant timeframe to capture trends accurately.
- Load the collected data into a Pandas DataFrame for further analysis.
- Perform data cleaning tasks, including removing duplicates, handling missing values, and standardizing the data format for consistency.
- Explore the dataset using Pandas functions to gain initial insights into the programming language popularity trends.
- Group the data by programming language and time intervals (e.g., months, quarters, or years) to aggregate post counts.
- Utilize Matplotlib to create visually appealing charts and plots to represent the popularity trends.
- Generate line plots, to visualize the relative popularity of different programming languages over time.
- Customize the visualizations with appropriate labels, titles, and color schemes to enhance readability and clarity.
- Gain insights into the popularity of programming languages, helping developers and organizations make informed decisions.
- Understand trends in the developer community and stay updated with the latest programming language preferences.
- Enhance data analysis skills, including data cleaning, manipulation, and visualization using Pandas and Matplotlib.
- Communicate findings effectively through compelling visualizations and clear documentation.
