For the learning section of today, what we're going to do is we're going to write an app that takes a CSV file, and answers a

set of questions around it. The data that we're going to use is from the 538 data set, data/us-weather-history. It's not very clear what this means,
0:18
but this is the weather history from different cities. You can even actually see here's the the data that they,
0:25
the code that they used to visualize it. Here's the web scraping, they go to Wunderground which is the weather site to get the data, pretty awesome.

And I'll just save this as seattle.csv. Now let's go write some code to work with this data file.
