About the Course

This course will introduce the core data structures of the Python programming language. We will move past the basics of procedural programming and explore how we can use the Python built-in data structures such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples to perform increasingly complex data analysis. This course will cover Chapters 6-10 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. This course covers Python 3....

Excellent course. I feel that I learned a lot of very useful material. It was challenging but not to intimidating. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of Python.

Absolutely a fantastic class and Dr. Chuck is amazing. If you have any interest in Computer Science, writing code and programming, this is a great place to start. Find out if you like it and want to pursue it or just give yourself some basic knowledge in understanding the basis of code and how it works.

can we have problems solved in classes i know they will be tough but we will give a try for every chapter or week so that we will have more explose that field. sir please think about my request. the only reason i am taking these course is because it was offered by your university and also beacause of you.

Thank you,

Sir Charles Severance for teaching Python Data Structures in such a simple way that i completed this course without facing any difficulties. Now i am very excited to complete all the course of this specialization. And ones again thank for Sir Charles for improving my basic fundamental in Python.

I have enjoyed this course so much!! I had zero experience in Python,prior to this specialization,but now I understand and have learnt so much more.Dr. Chuck is a brilliant instructor and really broke this down into understandable chunks so it was easy to grasp.Looking forward to learn more about Python!

Professor Charles Russel is the best instructor so far I've found in Coursera. His teaching skills are fascinating. He does have these tricks to connect with students mentally, what students need to know, how they can understand, and all. I'd suggest anyone who is interested in Python, to do this course.

This is a great continuation to the Programming for everybody course. It is a concise explanation of the data representations in Python above simple values, variables & expressions. Strings, Lists, Files, Dictionaries, & Tuples are covered well enough to get a basic understanding of manipulating data.

I now have a good understanding of Python programing, but I think I am a long way from applying this knowledge to useful purpose. I am hoping that as I advance through the future instructional materials I will improve my skills. I think I would not have been able to accomplish this by independent study.

This is the second course in the Python for Everyone series which continues (and concludes) the introduction to Python. The course's automated grading made it easy to continue with each assignment at my own pace; and the way the information is presented makes it easy to learn without getting frustrated.

Great course! Fascinating Professor!

Recommend to everyone who wants to start learning Python or programming in general!

Many many thanks to Professor Charles for holding the course and generously sharing his work with us! I've really learned a lot!

Can't wait to start the next course in the specialization!

A very well designed course that gives just enough information in the lectures to complete the assignments without giving the whole answer away. I have been learning JavaScript on my own and paired with this course specialization I feel like I am slowly learning the important fundamentals of programming.

Great course. It's a very succinct introduction to the basic data structures in Python. Dr. Chuck is very engaging and easy to understand. The assignments and quizzes provide a good measuring stick as to your progress. The peer-reviewed assignments are a great feature. I really enjoyed this course.

This is the only Python course I could concentrate in and proceed on.

Prof. Severance gives students very important emphasis when he thinks that the students must understand something perfectly to step on to the next step. I think it is kind of warning, and makes me review the previous lecture materials.

This is the second course in the Python for Everybody specialization. The course is really structured for us. Dr. Severance (Dr. Chuck) does an excellent job of making the concepts clear and understandable. Dr. Chuck has an unusual sense of humor, but I think most students will enjoy it as I have.

As someone with hardware IT experience but NO coding/programming expieirence, I felt all the courses I have taken under Mr. Severance has been so beginner friendly and I have learned a lot. I never thought I would have this passion, these materials are so easy to...digest and I recommend it for anyone.

Dr Chuck is Amazing. In the beginning the programming assignments seem easy but as you progress through the weeks, the assignments get more interesting and challanging requiring you to remember the course material that you studied in the previous course. And Dr. Chuck's sense of humuor is also awesome.

I am taking this course to gain a knowledge base for my PhD. Great course that built on Dr. Severance's first intro course. The assignments were the right level of challenging without being frustrating and really helped me understand how lists, dictionaries, and tuples can be utilized to achieve tasks.

All i want to say is i'm greatful to CourseEra and Doctor Chuck for making me able to read others code and somewhat understand what's going on in it from a near zero knowledge. Also, thanks for creating the cravings in me to learn more and build some new skills that i gave up on before.

This course I received funding from Coursera. I am very grateful for that. The course covers the most important data types in Python: string, list, tuple, dict, and set. Also help me know how to open a file, read a file. Very good. Thank you very much, Coursera and Professor Charles Russell Severance.

I loved everything about this class. The instructor is great; he explains all the concepts at an introductory level and makes the class genuinely enjoyable. Prior to this class I had very minimal exposure to python and now I'm on the lookout for another course because of how much I enjoyed this class.

I‘m so glad that i finished this course successfully,so many thanks to my dear lovely Dr.Charles.I like his teaching style,he makes it easy for students to understand everything,even a students without any programming experience like me. I highly recommend this course for you who want to learn Python.

Great course!!! By the end I felt like I really have solid grasp on low level programming and the basic programming concepts. Interesting exercises involving parsing through a text file that makes use of all these techniques. Extremely practical! Can't recommend this course enough. Definitely take it!

Awesome course, well taught, easy to understand and goes beyond just learning Python. The lectures on the people who created other languages and libraries are great. I've learned a lot and I'm hoping that Dr. Chuck keeps creating courses. He's simply amazing. That said, I'd love a class on algorithms.

I loved learning with Dr.Chuck, I never knew that i could understand and write code on my own,he helped me to understand every single line of code.Beginners please go with course you would never regret of choosing this one the code which I thought was gibberish made sense after learning with Dr.Chuck
