Challenges & Solutions

The major problem I ran into was how to separate the functions required for the app and how to tie them with the related CSV

Lessons Learnt

I hadn’t gotten to the part in my Data Science course that uses pandas, this was a nice introduction to the library.

Conclusion

Delving into the data libraries of Python was interesting. This gave me a look at the kind of things I may doing later on. I think I will try to build this tracker with something else as well, for posterity.
