**Main App (app.py):**
```python
from dash import Dash, html, dcc, page_container
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc

app = Dash(
    __name__,
    use_pages=True,
    external_stylesheets=[dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP]
)

# Navbar
navbar = dbc.NavbarSimple(
    children=[
        dbc.NavItem(dbc.NavLink("Home", href="/")),
        dbc.NavItem(dbc.NavLink("Analytics", href="/analytics")),

    ],
    brand="My Dashboard",
    brand_href="/",
    color="primary",
    dark=True,
)

# Layout with navigation and page container
app.layout = html.Div([
    navbar,
    dbc.Container([
        page_container
    ], fluid=True, className="mt-4")
])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
```

**Home Page (pages/home.py):**
```python
from dash import html, register_page
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc

register_page(__name__, path="/", name="Home")

layout = dbc.Container([
    dbc.Row([
        dbc.Col([
            html.H1("Welcome to the Dashboard"),
            html.P("Select a page from the navigation bar to get started."),

                ])
            ])
        ])
    ])

**Analytics Page (pages/analytics.py):**
```python
from dash import html, dcc, callback, Output, Input, register_page
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc
import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd

# Generate sample data

    "value": [100 + i + (i % 30) * 5 for i in range(365)]
})

layout = dbc.Container([
    html.H1("Analytics"),

    dbc.Row([
        dbc.Col([
            dbc.Label("Chart Type"),
