Module 1 : Loading, Querying, & Filtering Data Using the csv Module
This first module provides students with an overview of loading, inspecting, and exploring data using Python's simple csv library. To get started, this module includes a brief overview of Jupyter Notebook and a concise review of basic Python, including data structures, loops, and functions. This module showcases to the students an in-depth analysis of data stored in a .csv file, including basic querying, approaches for dealing with data errors, and how to filter and sort data based on a variety of criteria.
Module 2 : Loading, Querying, Joining & Filtering Data Using pandas
In this module, students are introduced to core concepts like the Data Frame and joining data. Students will get experience using pandas, an industry-standard data analysis library, to load and query real-world data and to answer questions about that data. This module demonstrates how to do advanced filtering and indexing, slice subsets of data, restrict data attributes in query results, and do basic computations over the data. Includes how to build a simple recommendation system, and approaches for cleaning data, dealing with missing values, and creating new data.
Module 3 : Summarizing & Visualizing Data
This module takes data analysis a step further by providing an overview of the process of aggregating, summarizing, and visualizing data. Students are introduced to the concept of grouping and indexing data, and how to display results in a pivot table using pandas. This module also demonstrates how to prepare and visualize data using a histogram and scatterplot in Jupyter Notebook. Students will gain skills in data aggregation and summarization, as well as basic data visualization. In addition, students will get experience using data analysis libraries like numpy and matplotlib.

Principales reseñas sobre DATA ANALYSIS USING PYTHON
Course aim towards histograms and scatter plots ensures dataframe syntax learning.
Videos touching same theme were too short (26 sec, 1 min, etc.) and disruptive. Wish there could be more practices.
course is overall good but face some problem in understanding of homework questions, proper explanation is needed
Very informative course. However lessons feel more like telling than teaching. The lecturer could go more in depth.
Acerca de Programa especializado: Introduction to Programming with Python and Java
This Specialization starts out by teaching basic concepts in Python and ramps up to more complex subjects such as object-oriented programming and data structures in Java. By the time learners complete this series of four courses, they will be able to write fully-functional programs in both Python and Java, two of the most well-known and frequently used programming languages in the world today.
