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....

The course is great... You can definitely learn many things... Was kind of hard for me and i went many times back and forth through most of the lectures... However i think i learn many new things....

This course was great! I enjoyed parsing different types of data: from documents and the web. This course is definitely (rudimentary) a must take course for anyone who wants to go into data science.

This course is great! Just one thing a little regretful---the final assignment really needs to a better design and reflects what is taught in the class.

This is an excellent course. It wasn't easy, but do-able for people who have had no other Python experiences other than the other courses by Dr. Chuck.

This one was dense! So much information on databases and SQL. Final multi-step applications were very well chosen and introduced so much new elements.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I have never really created even a small database before this course but now I have a better understanding of them.

Muy buen curso cubre temas de gran interes, se advierte que no se puede detallar tanto en cada tema por ser un tópico muuy amplio lo cual es bueno.

the instructor is so good if you don't have knowledge in python and if you take this course you will solve all of these assignments from yourself

I loved the exposure to APIs including Google Places API. Integrating it with some SQL and a few database tricks made this class very worth while.

Fantastic course. Does require some prior knowledge of python, and some prior knowledge of databases (SQlite) would be helpful but not required.

A great continuation on how to use python with databases, retrieving data from other sources, storing it in a database and presenting it via SQL.

This is an awesome course the instructor explains every thing nicely and to the point it would be lovely if he goes a bit more deeper in python.

The class was fast paces, documentation and videos easy to digest and quizzes and projects elaborated enough at the same time short to complete.

The contents are well explained and are suitable for beginners. The adoption of database tools really leads to a new dimension of programing.

Amazing and very knowledgeable Dr. Chuk. I wish the lectures could have been a little more detailed and we could have more practice assignment.
