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.

Very strong course on data structures. The prof teaches you the deeper understanding behind data structures and not just "a list is a bunch of variables". And a deeper more meaningful understanding of the concepts that build Python ultimately makes you a better dev.

good,nice and clear explanations on the topics of python and i like the practice excercises as they are some what more near to real world tasks and i would encourage you to give more and more new assignments for students to improve their thinking ability

thank you

Dr. Chuck, is the best. He is very brilliant, cool, outgoing, and unlike many other people who are much less credentialed, he is unpretentious. I am looking forward to taking my courses and hope to meet this great man and role model some day. Thank you Dr. Chuck!

This is a great course. I've learned a lot and Professor Severence is very knowledgeable. I have started applying my new found knowledge at work, writing basic scripts to assist in some of the data cleaning tasks I do. I would highly recommend this course to others.

The Instructor was amazing. I find myself thorough with everything he taught, despite having to finish the course much earlier than expected. Was a unique and eventful learning experience, and felt a connect with the instructor, thanks to those fun bonus videos! (:

I would say it is a splendid way to know the functionality and possible examples of applications of python in real life. This course motivates me to proceed further to see what is next in bucket. I have never been enthusiastic to learn programming the way I am now.

This is one of the best course I have taken in Coursera. Though the assignments are of "hard difficulty" for beginner like me, I still managed it to finish 27 days ahead of my schedule. It is because i get to enjoy learning that I became committed in finishing it.

Very good conclusion to learning the fundamentals of Python, after the first class. I've already been programming in Python for awhile, but there was some basics I had missed, which was extremely helpful for me to learn about. I'm very excited for the next classes!

In the recent two years, I started to learn basic python. But the whole process is intermittent. The textbook of python is too difficult for me and it is also not practical enough. By learning this python course, I can write 30-40 lines by myself. I learned a lot.

This is the best course I've had. The instructor was amazing, and he was the major reason why I liked this course so much. I felt connected with him through office hours and the other videos. Enrolling for this course was the best decision I made this year so far.

I enjoyed dr. Charles Severance's style of teaching, it's fun and perfectly understandable even for a beginner. I got a good idea of data structures in this course (lists, tuples, dictionaries) and I'm ready to continue building more knowledge on top of that base.

Great course for an absolute beginner. As Dr. Chuck Severance says, "this is course 0, not course 1." Dr. Chuck was conversational and knowledgeable. After you finish the course, you'll have a little program, 25-30 lines long, that you will know inside and out.

Loved this course and Dr. Chuck is my favorite instructor. His way of teaching was definitely a vital motivation for taking up this course. Learnt many new concepts which are actually useful for my work life. Python is a really easy and smart language I would say.

This is the second course I have taken from this series and with Prof Dr. Chuck and I loved it as much as the first one! I had (have) no prior experience with Python but Dr. Chuck makes the lectures so interactive and understandable that even I was able to follow.

I started Python for Everybody five days ago., and I've already completed my second course. I've spent years trying to teach myself programming languages. This course is organized so well that students can build on simple concepts to produce more complex programs.

Dr charles explained this course in the simplest way possible. Also his little funny comments and light-hearted jokes made all the difference as it kept the class engaging giving the student a chuckle or two every couple of minutes. Great teacher and great course!

I just passed the first course "Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) " a month ago and was good, so I started "Python Data Structures" and I gotta say this course is totally different and definitely practical. Well done Coursera it was nice job.

Thank you Dr. Severance. Your course has been very helpful. I also very much appreciated the efforts of teaching assistants, whose contributions in the forum have been very helpful. The step-by-step course design and those worked exercise videos also helped a lot.

The first steps towards functional utility with the Python programming language; this course will give a solid foundation in the practical applications of how to structure information within Python for easy of use, readability, debugging and efficient programming.

I missed data sets as a data structure. I am still not sure how to handle data sets in Python and if it is even possible but I am assuming it is (also looking at the coming classes). A word on data sets even if it is just: It exists and we will deal with it later.

great experience with this course and learned a lot about data structure using python. it is a easy to understand course and covers every basics of tuple, list, dictionary, string, files and all. Best for beginners, and again i had learned a lot from this course.

Dr.Chuck is an amazing instructor, not only shares his professional knowledge of Python but also his meeting with classmates and life during the classes. If you take the course, you will definitely learn a lot from the content of classes, the assignments as well.
