About the Course

This course will introduce the learner to the basics of the python programming environment, including fundamental python programming techniques such as lambdas, reading and manipulating csv files, and the numpy library. The course will introduce data manipulation and cleaning techniques using the popular python pandas data science library and introduce the abstraction of the Series and DataFrame as the central data structures for data analysis, along with tutorials on how to use functions such as groupby, merge, and pivot tables effectively. By the end of this course, students will be able to take tabular data, clean it, manipulate it, and run basic inferential statistical analyses. This course should be taken before any of the other Applied Data Science with Python courses: Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python, Applied Machine Learning in Python, Applied Text Mining in Python, Applied Social Network Analysis in Python....

overall the good introductory course of python for data science but i feel it should have covered the basics in more details .specially for the ones who do not have any prior programming background .

I thought this was course was good, and was fairly challenging for an online-only course. I thought the lectures could have been a little longer to ensure proper coverage of materials and functions.

Anyway, I still learned lots from here.

Really useful class. Even as someone who uses Pandas regularly I learned a great amount in this class; one of the best Coursera classes I have taken.

Very good content. Challenging assignment that force you to learn more yourself rather than just apply what you've heard and forget it in 10 minutes.

I would like to temporarily unenroll the course and pursue Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) to grasp some programming basics.

This course focus more on assignement, which require a lot of self-study. Meanwhile, the discussion forums are very useful and responses are prompt.

Great Course.

Only things is that I have some conflict with some of the question. Would be great if there is any way we could look at the approaches

The course is fantastic. The only thing I want is that the discussion forum could be more organized, it will help students and instructors as well.

I'm a super beginner in Python and this course really elevates my Python skill from 0 to 4 (at least and also, I'm not a very good programmer tbh).

the assignments are quit tough, but practical and real life problems. You really have to dive in and learn it. But you get better understanding.
