Data Visualization with Matplotlib and StackOverflow Data

📅 Day 73 of #100DaysOfCode — and today the data told a story I didn't expect! Today's focus: data visualization with Matplotlib using real StackOverflow data on programming language popularity from 2008 to 2020. Here's what I worked through today: 🔧 Renamed DataFrame columns using the names parameter in read_csv() for cleaner, more readable data 📅 Converted messy datetime strings into proper pandas datetime objects — a crucial data cleaning step before any time series analysis 🔍 Used groupby() + sum() + idxmax() to identify the most popular programming language of all time by total posts (spoiler: JavaScript 👑) 📊 Filtered DataFrames using boolean indexing to isolate specific languages for visualization 📈 Plotted time series data with Matplotlib — first a single language, then overlaid two languages on the same chart The most compelling insight? The chart says it all: 🔵 Java peaked around 2013-2014 and has been declining ever since 🟠 Python has been on a relentless rise — and by 2020, it's not even close The numbers don't lie. If you're wondering whether to learn Python, the StackOverflow community already voted with their questions. Onward to Day 74! 💪 #Python #Pandas #Matplotlib #DataVisualization #100DaysOfCode #DataScience #ContinuousLearning #MicrosoftFabric
