Data analysis resources

Practice datasets I collected, with questions to work through, plus the guides and checklists I made for data projects. The analysis is only half the work. The other half is explaining what you found, so each project asks you to do both.

Practice datasets

Each dataset is on Kaggle, with a documentation page that explains the columns and gives more detailed steps.

Global freelance projects

Real freelance jobs posted online, with job titles, price ranges, required skills and client details. Use it to explore trends in freelance work and practice breaking down project details.

Try answering

  • What is the average freelance rate in different countries?
  • Which skills or tags show up most in high-paying jobs?
  • Do highly rated clients pay more for projects?

Public projects on GitHub

Stars, forks, languages and activity for more than 14,000 public GitHub repositories. Good practice for data cleaning, trend analysis and telling a story with real tech data.

Try answering

  • Which repositories have the most stars?
  • Do repositories with a README get more stars?
  • Can you spot hidden gems: few stars but healthy activity?

UK property sales

Real UK property sales with their sale history. See how house prices changed over time, which types of homes sold most, and how often people moved. You'll practice joining tables and working with dates.

Try answering

  • Which homes had the biggest price increase between sales?
  • How often are properties sold and resold?
  • What is the average sale price for each property type?

Guides and checklists

Each one opens as a Google Doc you can read or copy.
