DATA PIPELINE#1

A series of data processing steps that involve extracting, transforming, and loading data for analysis.

ETL#2

Stands for Extract, Transform, Load; the three key processes in data pipeline development.

EXTRACT#3

The process of retrieving data from various sources, such as databases or APIs.

TRANSFORM#4

The process of converting extracted data into a usable format through cleaning and organizing.

LOAD#5

The final step where transformed data is stored in a target system, like a database or CSV file.

API#6

Application Programming Interface; a set of rules allowing different software applications to communicate.

JSON#7

JavaScript Object Notation; a lightweight data interchange format often used in APIs.

PANDAS#8

A Python library used for data manipulation and analysis, particularly for handling structured data.

DATA CLEANING#9

The process of detecting and correcting inaccuracies or inconsistencies in data.

DATA TRANSFORMATION#10

The process of converting data from one format or structure into another.

CSV#11

Comma-Separated Values; a file format used to store tabular data in plain text.

DATA INTEGRITY#12

The accuracy and consistency of data over its lifecycle, crucial in data pipelines.

FUNCTION#13

A reusable block of code in Python that performs a specific task.

CONTROL FLOW#14

The order in which individual statements, instructions, or function calls are executed in a program.

LIST#15

A data structure in Python that holds an ordered collection of items.

DICTIONARY#16

A Python data structure that stores data in key-value pairs, allowing for fast lookups.

AGGREGATION#17

The process of summarizing data, such as calculating totals or averages.

ERROR HANDLING#18

Techniques used in programming to manage and respond to errors or exceptions.

DATA VISUALIZATION#19

The graphical representation of data to help communicate information clearly.

SCRIPT#20

A file containing a series of commands or code written in a programming language like Python.

DEBUGGING#21

The process of identifying and fixing errors in code.

OPTIMIZATION#22

The process of making a system or code more efficient in terms of performance.

DOCUMENTATION#23

Written descriptions of code and processes that help others understand how to use or modify it.

CAPSTONE PROJECT#24

A final project that integrates all learned skills, showcasing proficiency in course concepts.

REFLECTIVE CHECKPOINTS#25

Opportunities for students to assess their understanding and progress throughout the course.
