Working with data |
I started this assignment by watching the videos and understanding the ways I can deal with uploading and approaching data. I began searching for the data source I wanted to work with. I was interested in working on the subject of bird migration but didn't find an updated open source that I could work with (or that I still don't know well enough how to search for). Then I wanted to work with data related to solar activity, but what I found also required payment.
So, I decided to start with the Holiday data that was organized and easy to work with :) My goal was to create a "clock" that presents which holidays are being celebrated around the world in real-time on a map. I started by combining two different datasets—one providing information on holidays and the other providing information on latitude and longitude.

In my holiday data, I could only get one country at a time, so I began creating an array that combines all the countries in Europe and worked with it. However, on Wednesday, I encountered a roadblock! Apparently, I reached the limit of 10,000 calls.
I learned a lot. Firstly, the datasets I initially worked with weren't ideal for this project. It would have been faster and better if I had relied on a single source that combines both aspects.
So, I sought help and created this dataset, which may not be updated every year, but it helped me learn and to present the data more easly.
I didn't have the chance to design it nicely, but I hope to reach that point too!
