Programming practice 2: data visualization



Data visualization is an essential function in programming. In my last programming practice, I gained significant knowledge about using loops in programs and automatically collecting data from web pages. This was a valuable, albeit small, step in my programming journey. To continue advancing my programming skills, I will now focus on practicing data visualization using Python.

Selecting a data source can be somewhat confusing, as there are many types of data, including text, numbers, ordinal data, and dummy variables. For this practice, I will use price data from the stock market and display it as a price diagram within my program. While this duplicates the functionality of most stock trading software, I believe it will be an excellent fundamental practice for a novice programmer. It will significantly improve my skills in visualizing time series data and understanding various functions relevant to data visualization.
