clear focus on displaying the data with a interesting story line

Given the recent boom of interest in data science, I thought it would be great to see how different “generations” of practitioners differ in aspects covered in the survey. We can qualify these “generations” through respondents’ years in professional experience.

After going through the list of questions and the data dictionary, I mulled over what questions I found interesting and how I could tell a story around those. I came up with several hypotheses (e.g. Younger practitioners are less likely to use Excel) and tested those out. After that, I spent a lot of time thinking through the best way to present the data. When I had my ideal end state for my graphs in mind, I just needed to figure out how to transform the raw data to arrive at those graphs. Data transformations and visualizations were done through pandas and matplotlib, and I hosted this small site via Github Pages.
