You did it! You have successfully completed the core analytics track of the 50-Day Python for Business Analytics journey. Take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come. You started with the absolute basics of Python and have progressed to loading, cleaning, analyzing, visualizing, and even serving data through an API. You now possess the foundational skill set of a modern data analyst.
Let’s look back at the critical skills you’ve acquired:
You have built a portfolio of projects throughout this course that demonstrates a practical, end-to-end understanding of the data analysis workflow.
To truly solidify your skills, we recommend tackling one final, more comprehensive project. This project will combine everything you’ve learned.
Data Backend:
case_study_sales.csv data from Day 36.Flask API Server:
/api/summary: Returns key metrics as JSON (e.g., total revenue, total units sold, number of transactions)./api/sales/by_product: Returns the total revenue for each product as JSON./api/sales/by_region: Returns the total revenue for each region as JSON.Interactive Visualization Endpoint (Challenge):
/api/charts/revenue_by_region.fig.show(), use fig.to_html(full_html=False, include_plotlyjs='cdn'). This returns the chart as an HTML string.Your journey doesn’t end here. You now have the foundation to explore the most exciting fields in data—and the remaining days of the 50-day program will take you even further. Here are some potential next steps:
scikit-learn, the primary library for machine learning in Python. Start with concepts like Linear Regression and Classification.Thank you for your hard work and dedication throughout this course. You have invested in a skill that will provide immense value throughout your business career.
Happy analyzing!
