About the Course

This course will introduce students to the basics of the Structured Query Language (SQL) as well as basic database design for storing data as part of a multi-step data gathering, analysis, and processing effort. The course will use SQLite3 as its database. We will also build web crawlers and multi-step data gathering and visualization processes. We will use the D3.js library to do basic data visualization. This course will cover Chapters 14-15 of the book “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-13 of the textbook and the first three courses in this specialization. This course covers Python 3....

The course is great... You can definitely learn many things... Was kind of hard for me and i went many times back and forth through most of the lectures... However i think i learn many new things....

This course was great! I enjoyed parsing different types of data: from documents and the web. This course is definitely (rudimentary) a must take course for anyone who wants to go into data science.

this course is just as a preparation for database with python, we need to learn more or to learn other courses if we want to be experts.

Good course material but the assignments are too basic! Simply copying code or adding a few lines, but not as much hands on as I'd like.

It is a good course to learn about the very basics of Databases. And use Python to create our own database files using python commands.

There are some concepts which were not elaborated very well. I request the faculties to add extra lectures as it might help beginners.

Very good, felt like we could have done more work with hands on file writing and coding but it was nice to build off of someone elses.

A bit too easy. I really wish there'd be a more advanced project for us to better understand and implement the database and python

Touches on a lot of subjects. Each having its own complexity. I'd have loved of the concepts are covered in a little more depth.

This course could do with harder assignments. This last one was just "run my code" and screenshot stuff. Learned a lot though

Great course but personally I think it will better if Pandas is taught instead of SQL, especially for a beginners course.

I like this course, but not as good as the previous three. I think it did not present the database models very clearly.

or just want to remind themselves such topics.
