Welcome back! iPhone apps have been such a growing industry, but you maybe asking yourself: Where do I start? What languages should I use? Let’s me go ahead and give a high level overview of how to make an iPhone app. Keep in mind that this is a very basic overview, i’ll be making other coding based tutorials later about this, but by the end of this you should have a good understanding of what is needed to make an iPhone app ☺️

Welcome back! A very common thing to do with Python for any project is changing the working directory. Changing the directory is very easy to do, there are only 3 requirements to change the directory:

1: The directory exists (the folder or file your linking to must exist)

2. You have access to the folder

3. You input the file directory right

Let’s get started! First off, to change the working directory it’s as easy as:

import os
os.chdir('folder/path/here')

We want to import OS (which comes built into Python), we then use the os.chdir command to change the directory, finally…

Sometimes you may run into issues when importing files into Python, specifically Excel files, so let’s go ahead and fix some common import issues with Python & Excel!

File / path issues

One of the most common issues that I see when importing Excel files is using the wrong file path. This is a very common issue, you won’t be able to read in the data if you’re not pointing in the right direction, this is the very first place I would recommend looking at inside of your code. …

Google Trends is a great tool for market research, finding out what people are searching for can be super beneficial to you, so let’s go ahead and scrape some data from Google Trends!

Basic introduction you could probably skip that I copied from my other article

First things first, we will need to have Python installed, read my article here to make sure you have Python and some IDE installed. …

One of my most popular articles i’ve made was about pulling data on TikTok. I love TikTok and that platform holds a lot of value, both in a content and data perspective, so let’s pull some data from this platform!

Installation

(I copied this from my article since it’s still the same process) Now we will be installing the tiktok-scraper file from this github link, I would recommend looking through that documentation to get a good understanding of what we’re going to be doing in this little project as well as full installation instructions. Now after that we want to make…

Exporting data with R is one of the most important things you can possibly do with this language, let’s go ahead and show you how to do this!

Exporting .XLSX Files

In order to export a .XLSX file from R we need to use the xlsx package, we do by importing this package like this:

library(xlsx)

Next up we want to make sure you already have a dataset loaded in, let’s say we have our dataset stored in a variable called “df” like below

df <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6)

Next up, if we would want to export this data frame into a .XLSX file we…

So far on my Medium article journey I have hit a milestone that has me contemplating retiring, I finally hit 100 views on a single article on Medium. You might be asking yourself “How much money did you make from those views?”, let’s figure it out!

The Money

To be fair, I actually hit a little bit over 100 views, but we can still calculate what the exact dollar count per view we accumulated, thus calculating the 100 view value, here is what my dashboard shows me:

Hi Everyone! I’ve been a data scientist for about 2 years now and it’s a very rewarding career, but when I was starting off I wasn’t too sure what I needed to know to become a Data Scientist. Having a checklist for any career is very important, so here is a little bit of a checklist of what you need to do in order to become a data scientist (in my opinion)!

Python / R Experience

Python & R are some of the most important languages a Data Scientist can know. With these languages you’ll not only be able to process big data, but…
