    About the Course

    In the capstone, students will build a series of applications to retrieve, process and visualize data using Python. The projects will involve all the
    elements of the specialization. In the first part of the capstone, students will do some visualizations to become familiar with the technologies in
    use and then will pursue their own project to visualize some other data that they have or can find. Chapters 15 and 16 from the book “Python
    for Everybody” will serve as the backbone for the capstone. This course covers Python 3.

    Now I understand how data mining, API's and dumping and retrieving data from a database works. Excellent course to start understanding how python can be used to work with data sources on the internet.

    No clue what the logic is behind ranking the URLs. For the first time during the course I was completely lost. Counting the number of outbound-URLs? Where can I find outbound-URLs on a site? Next to this it seemed a kind of magic to 'calculate' ranking.

    Not a way to finish this course where all the other assignments were doable and a lot of times too easy.

    This course was just too light and too easy. I felt cheated that I basically had to do no coding for any of the exercises. Even with the honors track, the tasks were so simple, I could have done them before doing any python. This was an anticlimactic ending to what was otherwise a really good training.

    The best course and specialization present in terms of MOOCs.

    Dr. Charles is a magician, from Slytherin and he helped me learn Parselmouth (Python).

    Dr. Chuck, a long time ago, probably 2 years ago or so, I enrolled in your first Python course after trying several times to learn programming with no success. Before my enrollment, I was deeply impressed by the fact that you're so courteous and generous to allow everybody to use your precious teaching materials (books, slides, videos, etc.) for no charge. I thought to myself, "Not so many people do this these days, who is this guy??". After watching the first video, I could not stop ever since. Your presentations are outstanding and quite engaging. Your sense of humor is amazing. The effort that you put into your slides never went unnoticed. The writing style of your Python book is very nice. Everything you say or write shows how passionate you are about your work. But, what is even more impressing is the amount of time and effort that you give for no charge to help others. Obviously, you could have made thousands of dollars if you used your time and efforts otherwise, but, fortunately, you chose another route, which, in fact, pays off in the long run. Probably, you did not get as much money as you deserve, but you helped many thousands of people who needed help and made them so much grateful to you. Now, thousands of people in all corners of the world know about the unique, quality work that you deliver.

    This is the Nasty Dungeon of courses!

    For the uninitiated, the Nasty Dungeon is an area in the Game Boy RPG Final fantasy Legend 2 that's really long and filled with toms of difficult monsters, only you don't have to actually face it because you can just walk in, go a few steps to the one treasure you need, and walk out. Of course, doing so deprives you of the level ups and treasure you would've obtained going through it, and you'll find yourself unprepared for the future if you skip the dungeon.

    This class works the same. If you just want to complete it, all you have to do is start it up, do an easy final exam for the specialization, and there you go. Of course, you'll miss out on all the skills you'll learn from doing the capstone project and the project for your portfolio (which you NEED if you're thinking about getting a job in the industry.)

    Who would've thought a dungeon from a relatively unknown Game Boy RPG could serve as the template for a class on Coursera?

    i was expecting python for data analysis (Pandas, SQL..) but the content is more oriented web and text. maybe good for someone else. unfortunatly not really helpful in my case.

    I'm going to be brutally honest... this is not a real capstone course for the beginners.. it just wants us to follow the code and simulate using python3. That's it. just understanding the code and simulating it, not making our own code. so disappointed. i'm out.

    I absolutely didn't get the purpose of this course. It as just a long video about strings (already covered before) and a quiz (with a weird question about the number 42).

    I have been with Charles Russell Severance since the very first course.From my first print ('hello world'). All the way to creating databases, parsing the web and creating visualizations with data.To be honest it makes me kind of sad knowing that my journey with Charles Russell Severance is almost complete.Computers and Technology is my passion this will always be one of the courses I will remember for the rest of my life. Because it gave me a good foundation.I have tried to learn python on many other occasions but I never seem to have followed through.I just 'clicked' with Charles :). He's funny, passionate and an amazing teacher.Emerson once said, and I quote "Since we are all related, I believe we have met through these lectures..."from a grateful student,Cape Town, South Africa

    I took the Python Specialization, which included this course, so I'm going to provide the same review for each of the component courses.

    I think this is an excellent course for beginning programmers. Python is a great language for someone starting out - easy to learn - with a lot of power available for more advanced projects (e.g., machine learning).

    But, most of all, you have to love Dr. Serverance. I can't think of a more entertaining and enjoyable person to teach programming. Thanks, Dr. Chuck.

    Amazing course for beginners, or if you just haven't coded since undergrad and want a great intro/ refresher course to improve your workflow, for anyone who needs to visualize data for work.

    Nice course but I think you should have an actual assignment where students can submit their analysis/visual work for the datasets chosen.
