    About the Course

    This is the second of seven courses in the Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate. The Python programming language is a powerful tool for
    data analysis. In this course, you’ll learn the basic concepts of Python programming and how data professionals use Python on the job. You'll
    explore concepts such as object-oriented programming, variables, data types, functions, conditional statements, loops, and data structures.
    Google employees who currently work in the field will guide you through this course by providing hands-on activities that simulate relevant
    tasks, sharing examples from their day-to-day work, and helping you enhance your data analytics skills to prepare for your c...

    Great course! Very helpful for beginner Python learners especially for learning key concepts. Jupyter notebooks, Pandas, Numpy, Tuples, Lists, etc are some of the interesting concepts covered.

    Google needs to either change the course from ' Getting Started in Python' or lower the steep difficulty level of course that starts with when you finish the module of dictionary, tuples, and so on. The reason is that the lectures emphasize on the basics of data structure but the questions of the same lectures of much higher difficulty and doesn't even explain the relevant functions / techniques and such strategy leaves students like me to be frustrated & disappointed. So, please if the questions (especially the dictionary & tuples) ones bound to be difficult then share the relevant techniques in the lectures before prompting us to do the exercises.

    Great courses for a beginner, but the labs are so difficult, you cannot finishi them based on those video and readings without any previous knowldge about Python

    Too basic to "Advanced"

    The materials and presentations are excellent, but I am not a fan of the busy work involved in the end of course PACE portfolio work. Professional presentation is certainly important, but you end up diluting the course by including so much of this material. Furthermore, having worked on many projects, I can tell you that the workflow process is so iterative that trying to "shoe horn" the process into a four letter acronym -- which is better than the six letter acronym in the previous specialization -- is both reductionistic and frankly artificial. My suggestions are as follows: remove this excess material and "re-factor" the PACE/portfolio material into one course, perhaps the capstone course. Otherwise, I learned quite a bit.

    This course covers the essentials for data analytics well, introduction(short) to python basics and pandas.

    Good amount of labs practice with data frames and the functions and methods that come with it, however, this course is not sufficient if you have little to none experience or knowledge of the python language.

    I would highly recommend a full basic course on python for data science before proceeding any further in the certification because every other course in this program uses python extensively and you do not want to limit your understanding due to the technical aspect. Take your time, review the course material, take regular breaks to realign your mindset and most importantly - practice, practice, practice.

    Although I have not completed this course by now and am halfway done, I feel extremely disappointed with this advanced course. In this advanced course, course 1 is the intro, and courses 2 and 3 discuss fundamental Python analysis and visualization using numpy, pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn. By viewing content, courses 4 - 6 are advanced Python analysis, such as Introduction to Machine Learning and Regression Analysis. Let's start talking about courses 2 and 3. They throw you everything, and you must figure it out alone. It's just like you haven't learned Allegra yet, and they throw you calculus staff. How can you learn how to run if you don't know how to walk? It feels like impossible. If you have no previous Python experience, don't take this course! It will keep and keep confusing you. Let's have an example by looking at course content. In course 3, they taught you data analysis, visualization, and data cleaning afterward. This does not make any sense. If you aren't familiar with data analysis yet, data analysis should follow the steps in order(the steps might differ, but the structure is the same): Ask questions, data collect, data clean, analyze, and visualize. They don't teach in order, which is ridiculous, in my opinion. I learned content similar to this course about two years ago and recently re-picked it up for review. But for sure, if you have yet to gain experience with Python, don't take this course; find something better, I promise. At least, it confused me more.

    This was a very good course for people just starting out with Python. The instructor was well spoken and did a nice job explaining the topics. If you have never been exposed to any sort of computer programming language than this course may take you a little bit longer to get up to speed, but the resources provided should be enough to get you started.

    Overall the course is pretty good. The python tutorials could be more interactive, include more tutorials and then gradually increasing the difficulty level.

    videos where not that effective compared to the readings and there was too much to learn with less examples, it would be better if they provide more readings than links for further studies, because not everyone is going to make an effort to open the links and study.

    In the Laboratory, there is some content you need to seek in the web to solve the exercices :-( In case you do the course in different days, don't forget to import pandas and Numpy again.

    "I recently completed the 'Python Programming,' and it's undoubtedly a 5-star course! The content is expertly structured, starting with basics and progressing to advanced topics. The instructor's explanations are clear, even for coding newcomers. Hands-on exercises and great community support boosted my confidence. This course equipped me with a solid Python foundation for real-world projects. I highly recommend it to beginners and those wanting to deepen their skills. I'm thrilled with the experience, and it exceeded my expectations. A definite 5-star rating!" 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    This was a very good, no-frills turbo-mode boot camp for python. I already knew at least 80% of it, and it was good review and practice, plus I learned a couple new things along the way that I'm excited about, mostly list comprehension, plus good practice with numpy and pandas proficiency.

    I really enjoyed learning python. The for loops and list comprehensions were a little tricky, so I took a side course to help me understand those, but overall, it was fun and fantastic.

    Pretty good scope and nice exercises for entrenching what you learn. But you need to do a lot of self-learning through Python documentation and own research, which you could do without having to enroll for a Coursera course.
