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 career. Learners who complete the seven courses in this program will have the skills needed to apply for data science and advanced data analytics jobs. This certificate assumes prior knowledge of foundational analytical principles, skills, and tools covered in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. By the end of this course, you will: -Define what a programming language is and why Python is used by data scientists -Create Python scripts to display data and perform operations -Control the flow of programs using conditions and functions -Utilize different types of loops when performing repeated operations -Identify data types such as integers, floats, strings, and booleans -Manipulate data structures such as , lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets -Import and use Python libraries such as NumPy and pandas...

About the most interesting learning experience i have had. I love the course structure , its clarity and especially the content of its labs which took the concepts to another level of understanding.

Excellent introduction to Python programming, Pandas, and NumPy. I'm quite familiar with all three but still learned a few new tricks. The walkthroughs in this series are quite well done.

I really enjoyed taking this course. Learning the power of Pandas and Numpy in data analysis has been brilliant. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their python skills. Although, it is important to know that not all hands-on labs are beginner friendly.

Some topics were a bit difficult and I wish some of the basics were covered a bit more. It felt like the difficulty level shot up unexpected on certain assignments and I had to use the exemplar to figure out the solution. However, overall it was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

One thing I loved about this course is tutors encourage you to learn, they not only train you to be a Data Professional but also help you escape imposter syndrome. They made the course a smooth ride by guiding me through coding and also making good documentation of my work.

It was worth taking the course by getting financial-aid from the coursera and completing it within deadline.It was one of the best experience I ever had in my e-learning courses. Hope to get more benefits from this.

Very easy to understand the concepts/ theories specially for beginners. And for practice should consult other projects or courses. videos are short and concise yet well explained. Great approach I would say.

Nice intro course to Python. The instructor explains concepts clearly. It's more towards beginners. For experienced Python developers, it's probably ok to just do the quiz and skip most of the fundamentals.

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.

The instructors were very helpful & they discussed the codes in Jupyter notebook very well. Data structure & the end course projects are the best things to have in this course.
