About the Course

This course will introduce students to the basics of the Structured Query Language (SQL) as well as basic database design for storing data as part of a multi-step data gathering, analysis, and processing effort. The course will use SQLite3 as its database. We will also build web crawlers and multi-step data gathering and visualization processes. We will use the D3.js library to do basic data visualization. This course will cover Chapters 14-15 of the book “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-13 of the textbook and the first three courses in this specialization. This course covers Python 3....

I learned how to create a database model and trying to create models for my own day to day data for practicing. It's a really great tool for sorting things out. Thanks Coursera, Thanks Dr. Chuck :)

Well taught course, with material made easy to understand and discussed in an engaging way. The assignments really help to solidify your understanding and are like puzzles that I enjoy working at.

The course is nice. But instructor didn't focus on the last 2/3 weeks codes like geodata or geodump. I think the lecture videos of those classes should be updated.

Good Course but slightly schizophrenic due to the object oriented topics. Don't feel that they belong in this course and would be really ticked off if paid for it.

Useful for understanding databases, however it was quite simple and most of the code was written and I did not have to write a lot of code to complete the course.

Good course. I just expected my last assignment to be more challenging. But with the examples given we can create challenges for ourselves on real life projects.

Great course and additional materials. The last week seemed a bit too far away from the previous one, though. Still it was manageable and understandable, Thanks.

Love the course..learned new things but few parts at last can be explained in more detail format as it can help us a lot to us in developing application .......

En general fue un buen curso sin embargo creo que los ejercicios contenian mucho codigo que daba un gran salto en cuanto a lo que era explicado en las clases.

Another good class in the Python Certificate course. I the information was well-presented and I would definitely recommend this to other beginning programmers.

Another mind-opening course from Dr. Chuck. I really enjoyed it. I would like to recommend to everyone who wants to leverage their skill in Python programming.

Great course. Learned lot of new stuffs about how to read data and extract and insert data into a basic database directly using minimal lines of python code.

I think using Google map APIs is a mistake and led to much confusion. Better to use a subset that can be reliably downloaded and accessed from students' PC.

course start to get even harder, by combining the use the database and web spydering is very interesting, but wish the course can go even further on detail.

Generally an outstanding course, however I was a bit concerned that the video lectures, programming assignments, and quizzes didn't exactly follow the book.

a good introduction to how to interact with database.If you want to grasp more deeply,you 'd better read the free book--python for infomatics(3rd edition).

was inspiring but a big step from course 3 to course 4. the assignments were not to difficult but that was manly because all the code was already provided

Really straight forward content and great overview of SQL + SQLite. Nice python demos. Sometimes the instructor wanders a bit before he gets to his point.

Good course, except week 5. You should change it a bit. I spent more time trying to make the programs

work with the #!@!$ google key than anything else.

A bit more actual programming would be good rather than minor tweeking of existing code. Overall, a good basic into to relational database with Python.

Excellent course! Maybe It would be better to center in some points of the examples instead of providing so many, but in any case, a recommended course.

I would have liked to write more Python code to interact with the databases during the course of the homework assignments. The lectures were VERY good.

Very nice and very good intstructor. Clear examples. Clear presentation. However, some assignments are a bit too easy, even for beginners. Learnt a lot!

This is a good course by a good instructor. I learned a lot of new things. However the "final project" is a big disappointment because it is too easy.

Thanks a lot for letting me explore the sqlite browser and the sql commands. I have learnt about databases and sql a lot more than that about python .

Excellent - but I wish that the course had tougher assignments to really push me to practice on the topic - although I admit this is hard to grade.

I think the DB topic should include deeper knowledge. This was a very light introduction and it is not enough for coding in a professional IT job
