Ratings and Reviews for Capstone: Retrieving, Processing, and Visualizing Data with Python

Python for everyone is One of the Best Course on MOOC platform . Dr. Chuck made it interesting and Knowledgeable. Way back 3 Months ,I can't even thing of the stuff that I leaned and implemented .

Not much coding to do here - but a lot to understand in terms of getting data - treating it and then using it. Thanks You Dr. Chuck! Will be waiting for further courses from you!

5 stars for inspiring gazillion confidence with the exercises 3 stars for not pushing us hard during capstone Mean of 4 Nah !! Actually 5 Its perfect !

Love Charles!

If this entire specialization were a bag of potato chips, the Capstone would be that bland chip that didn't get any salt. The introduction to the Capstone promises that we'll "build applications" utilizing what we've learned so far with optional assignments for delving deeper. However, none of the required assignments involve even the most primitive of problem solving skills or code writing abilities. If you can download a file and take a screenshot then you've got what it takes to pass this class. The optional assignments are far too focused around a new piece of video sharing technology that the instructor and associates have developed. Unfortunately, the technology adds almost nothing beneficial to the class and is probably to blame for the sheer lack of quality in the rest of the class. In fact, the entire Capstone feels like it was so haphazardly put together that it can only be described as the most contrived beta-test I've ever been a part of. Such a disappointing ending to what was otherwise an enjoyable specialization.

Too easy. :)

excellent course

I think this course is good completion for specialization. Instructor is very friendly, and videos are lively and catchy. And I also think it's grasp that the tasks aren't toy programs, but in touch with real life. But I must make two stipulations. First I had problems with optional part of the course (can't watch uploaded videos). Since this problems can't stop one to finish the course, i didn't take them into account in the rate I gave. Second there was no subtitles, when I watched the video, so as I'm non-native speaker I might miss something.

A great course with a very engaging instructor ! In this capstone project, you will start from hundreds of MB of real-world raw data and process them up to the point you'll be able to extract and efficiently visualize the informations they contain. Along the path, you will leverage the knowledge gained in the previous courses of the specialization, and discover how to use the d3 rendering library to produce beautiful interactive charts. In addition, the course give a large share to interactivity and will encourage the students to present and compare their work and to discuss about technical interviews of highly renowned computer science and information technology specialists.

What impressed me is the architecture design of the Caption Project code base structure. The instructor demonstrates clearly how a large scale software can be broken down in multiple independent working modules to implement the project goal.
