This course will continue the introduction to Python programming that started with Python Programming Essentials. We'll learn about different data representations, including strings, lists, and tuples, that form the core of all Python programs. We will also teach you how to access files, which will allow you to store and retrieve data within your programs. These concepts and skills will help you to manipulate data and write more complex Python programs.

TOP REVIEWS FROM PYTHON DATA REPRESENTATIONS
well the instructors were as always awesome, but i have always felt that what i am taught and what i give for a project are quite different, i just feel so
This course was great. I would like to thank instructors and the Coursera Team to provide me the opportunity to learn this course
The project is very interesting. It took me 3 hours to finish but it is worth it. Thank you very much Prof Joe and Prof Scott
Excelenta balance de formación y tiempo necesario para estudiarlo. muchas veces el trabajo no permite dedicarse a tiempo completo para aprender.
