Image
 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

What is so Trendy in Data Visualization and Reporting

Data Visualization: Data visualization is the process that defines any effort to assist people to understand the importance of data by placing it in a visual context.  Patterns, trends, and correlations that might be missed in text-based data can be represented and identified with data visualization software. It is a graphical representation of numerical data. This is one of the Hot skills in the market, you will get the highest salary. Types of data visualization Visual Reporting Visual reporting uses charts and graphics to represent business performance, usually defined by metrics and time-series information. The best dashboards and scorecards enable the users to drill down one or more levels to view more detailed information about a metric A dashboard is a visual exception report that signifies the ambiguities in performances using visualization techniques Visual Analysis Visual-analysis allows users to visually explore the data to observe the data and dis...

5 Emerging Trends in Data Visualization

Image
Nowadays, we deeply drowned in data of diverse kinds due to the increased computational power and accessibility. Specifically, in addition to public data available on the Internet (e.g., census, demographics, environmental data), data pertaining personal daily activities are now more easily collected. For example, through mobile devices that can log people's running distances and time or their manual record of nutrition consumption. Due to such expanded sources of data, there appear new applications that involve data collection, visualization, exploration, and distribution in daily contexts. These applications do, not only display static information but also let users navigate the data in forms of interactive visualizations. 5 Emerging Trends in Data Visualization. #1: This emerging trend has brought both opportunities and challenges to interaction designers to develop new approaches to designing data-based applications. #2: Conveying information has been one of main functio...
