Project overview

In this project, you’ll assume the role of a data analyst at a company that builds free, ad-supported apps for Android and iOS. Since the company’s revenue depends on in-app ads, your task is to analyze historical data from app markets to determine which kinds of apps attract the most users.

Using Python, you’ll clean the provided datasets and analyze them using frequency tables and averages to identify trends. By working through a complete data science workflow, you’ll develop hands-on experience in data-driven decision making to inform business strategy. Finally, you’ll make recommendations on the app profiles the company should pursue to maximize users and ad revenue.

Objective: Analyze mobile app market data to recommend app development strategies that maximize user engagement and advertising profits.

“Dataquest starts at the most basic level, so a beginner can understand the concepts. I tried learning to code before, using Codecademy and Coursera. I struggled because I had no background in coding, and I was spending a lot of time Googling. Dataquest helped me actually learn.”
