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....

This is the practical course.There is some concepts and assignments like: pandas, data-frame, merge and time. The asg 3 and asg4 are difficult but I think that it's very useful and improve my ability.

The course had helped in understanding the concepts of NumPy and pandas. The assignments were so helpful to apply these concepts which provide an in-depth understanding of the Numpy as well as pandans

There was a lack of practical excercises after every video. I would better prefer more smaller tasks during the week.

Most assignments required individual learning. Not much was covered in the lectures. I relied on the book I'm having.

It needs more examples of how things are done, so that all new key concepts are grasped before leaving for the next.

Great course really, and a great Tutor. I just I feel emphasizing more about certain subjects would've been better.

I would give 5 stars if the developers update to the latest version of pandas. It was a bit annoying to use 0.19.2

The course was good! However, assignment auto grade sometimes does not work because of python version difference.

More time consuming than advertised. Good overview. Lighter on the stats, and heavier on the coding in python.
