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....

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.

Great course on the basics of Python data structures. My understanding of the various type of data structures has improved after completing this program. Some key takes away are understanding the inter-link between them and how to apply them to do data analysis.

You keep learning by the same and remarkable method: easy-going video lectures with quizzes and deliverables at the end of each week. Additionally, certain extra videos enables you to have a more open vision of the Python and Programming Community. I, definitely,

Really well explained course! I did have to watch the chapters about Lists and Dictionaries twice to actually get it down (which was recommended at the start of the videos), but I have a much better understanding than any other tutorials that I have taken before.

Course on Python data structures, it is still an introductory course, whose lectures by Dr. Chuck are clear and involving. Nevertheless, the course and some assignments above all are not easy, but help to test you and to go beyond what you learn in the lectures.

Dr. Chuck has really involved me in this course. He made the studying process fun, engaging, and easy to learn and understand, making academic technical knowledge accessible for non-tech backgrounds students.

Thank you very much!

I look forward to the next course!

A very crisp and to the point explanation of topics is given here. The course polishes your skills learnt in the previous course and teaches new skills that refines all existing skills. The skills learnt in this course can be applied in many real life problems.

This course is awesome. I was learning from different resources about data structure, but i was not understanding why i need to learn those. This course practically shows what to do with data structure and what is the relation between strings, tuples, list etc.

this has given me more motive to continue learning python for the time being. I really like the way the course is presented and the coding assignments really ge your head working which is very much fun. thanks professor Chuck and team for your support and effort

Charles Severance is perhaps the greatest instructor of a programming language that I have ever encountered. Not only are the lectures engaging but the assignments are relevant and I have been able to apply what I have learned immediately to my day to day life.

Dr Chuck does it again! The materials provided in this course really taught me a lot on Python programming, especially for a complete beginner like me. The lessons and assignments are fun, and I must say I will be looking forward for courses taught by Dr Chuck!

This course gives a brief introduction on python data structures like lists, tuples, dictionaries and also about the file accessing capability i.e to read from a file and write the data into a file. I recommend this course for everyone to take up this course.

its a really interesting course. I learned so many concepts easily like lists, dictionary manipulation of files. different functions for example : .sort(), .split(), .startswith() etc.

and the assignments were so amazing. I am really to happy learn this course.

Really gets into the meat and potatoes of Python. I enjoyed how the instructor has set it up to allow for people with experience in other languages to move quickly into areas where Python differs and work on those, beyond what is needed to complete the module.

After Python Data Structures course, as the second course of this series (By Dr. Chuck), you can commence your path in programming and develop your knowledge in this area.

I love Dr. Chuck's teaching method and his really positive inspiring vibe!

Don't miss it!
