1. Pandas is a powerful data analysis library for Python. And in this course, freeCodeCamp instructor Santiago Basulto will teach you how to harness this power. You'll learn data analysis by categorizing Pokémon. You'll learn data cleaning with a Premier League Match soccer dataset. And you'll learn data wrangling with an NBA season dataset. I encourage you to code along at home and build some Pandas muscle memory as you progress through these projects.

2. Supabase is an open source alternative to Firebase. It's built on top of PostgreSQL, which makes it easier to learn if you're already familiar with SQL databases. This course will teach you how to use Supabase to streamline your back-end development. freeCodeCamp instructor Guillaume Duhan will teach you about real time databases and instant APIs. You'll learn about schemas, triggers, logs, webhooks, and tons of security features as well.
