    ideas in the Python programming language. This course is the first in a four course specialization in Data Science and Machine Learning in

    There is some outdated information in the code part, so the programming may have some errors occurred, but the remaining is informative.

    The theory lectures are a little thin. The python labs are very good. Learning would benefit from some exercises following the labs.

    Practical labs are very good though sometimes it rushes a bit.

    Lectures can have a bit more details.

    Overall it's a good course.

    A bit quick in the later part, but overall gives me the knowledge of finance theory and hand-on experience in coding.
