you're freaky strong okay uh but then you have all this this so you're driving
3:59
you have all this this so you're driving
3:59
you have all this this so you're driving this with data and that's what we're
4:01
this with data and that's what we're
4:01
this with data and that's what we're going to talk about now a little bit all
4:02
going to talk about now a little bit all
4:02
going to talk about now a little bit all right so you you you measure and and
4:04
right so you you you measure and and

so now you have this uh this data this open source data set and then so you've
6:02
open source data set and then so you've
6:02
open source data set and then so you've what done with it you've made a website
6:05
what done with it you've made a website

the data I use the data frame and Candy libraries to um process the data uh do
6:31
libraries to um process the data uh do
6:31
libraries to um process the data uh do data wrangling and then to create the uh
6:34
data wrangling and then to create the uh
6:34
data wrangling and then to create the uh plots themselves which you can then
6:35
plots themselves which you can then
6:36
plots themselves which you can then export as inedible HTML which is cool
6:38
export as inedible HTML which is cool

the static site then the um if you hover over the charts you can actually see the
6:45
over the charts you can actually see the
