About the Course

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. By the end of the course, you will be able to write Python programs that can manipulate data stored in files. This will extend your Python programming expertise, enabling you to write a wide range of scripts using Python This course uses Python 3. While most Python programs continue to use Python 2, Python 3 is the future of the Python programming language. This course introduces basic desktop Python development environments, allowing you to run Python programs directly on your computer. This choice enables a smooth transition from online development environments....

These are excellent classes to take if you're interested in learning Python - I would highly recommend the Introduction to Scripting in Python Specialization.

I feel the instructors tried to jam too much into this course. Some of the videos should have been longer with better explanations. They were talking so fast to force it into a short video, that I actually had to slow the replay down, and also pause, so that they would talk normally and not jump to the next topic too quick.

The videos and lessons/quizzes are all very moderately paced to get you up to speed. Then the final projects in each of these Rice University Python classes just throws you into the deep end of the pool requiring a fairly strong grasp of Python and coding. UofM likes to do this as well and its not very helpful.

The cousrera LTI grading system is very bad.

I personally do not recommend this course to anyone.

Please use other python beginner courses
