In this project, our task was to scrape a website with notable celebrity deaths and create insights from it. To do this project, we utilized Python to scrape the Wikipedia Page, and Excel to clean and chart our data. Our project URL is http://project.mis.temple.edu/cleansingbigdata/ . I learned a lot from this project. The main thing I learned is Python. Going into the project, I had never worked with Python before, but this project gave me a great introduction to it and gave me the chance to establish a foundation in python if I ever use it in the future. I also learned more advanced excel formulas and functions. While I had strong Excel skills going into the project, I solidified and strengthened those skills through my work. Overall, this was an excellent project and a great way to wrap up my MIS coursework.
