What you will learn

Implement Algorithms in Python

Obtain the opportunity to learn a core concepts like Algorithms and Data Structures using Python

Solve problems programmatically with Python

Get a head start in the complex technologies (simplified by Python of course) of modern day programming

Understand why Python is such powerful programming language (especially Python 3.4)

Obtain the opportunity to learn more complex things like Machine Learning in Python at the end of the course

Why take this course?

What do you do when you need to divide a 5 digit number by a 2 digit one? You use long division. What do you do when you make a choice about what you want to eat tonight? You make a decision based on data collected from past experiences.

In other words, you use some procedure (hint: Algorithm) upon the presented data and you get the output of a certain result. In computation, we use Algorithms all the time to solve problems. To give you a better picture of why algorithms are so important, imagine any function that you have ever written before (even the simplest ones). You send some data into it and out comes the result. The magic that occurs inside is the algorithm.

There are some basic algorithms that every computer scientist has to know if he wishes to design solutions for applications. These algorithms involve Sorting, Searching, and storing and accessing data (data structures).

This course is designed to equip you with the basic understanding of sorting, searching, and storing algorithms. I will be teaching you these algorithms through a popular programming language called Python. We will learn how the concept of the algorithm works, the analysis of it in terms of efficiency, and the application of it in terms of code.

I have learned over 10 programming languages such as JAVA, Python, C++, R, Matlab, Ruby, CSS, HTML, Angular JS, Java Script. I have also had a successful freelancing career programming software and mobile applications. Since technology is changing every day, I have to learn something new every time. The best way that you can learn how to program is "to program".

My job is to make this class a great and fun learning experience so that I can help you progress through your path to learning advanced Python (whether it be just programming logic...classes....backends (boring) or doing fun stuff like Data Science).

There is no risk for you as a student in this course. I have put together a course that is not only worth your money, but also worth your time. This course encompasses the basics of Python programming and the main goal of this course, algorithms. I urge you to join me on this journey to learn how to dominate the entrepreneurial world with the most powerful language: Python.

First: lessons are often in revers order (from 22 to 15 or 11 and 10 ...), then the explanation parts are often repeated without any change of words. The implementations look a little bit sloppy, even for a beginner audition. Some errors are in the code as well.

It covered information I wanted to know. The videos such as Queus, and linked lists did not show any implementation. I found the insertion sort only covered how to move a number into the correct location, but didn't show how to fully sort the list, unless I missed something. The selection sort didn't check the last value in the inner loop.

I feel like some of the lessons were out of order....especially in the recursive section. Felt more like a podcast....not enough examples especially for programming in Python.

This was a great intro to algorithms. It made sense to me despite my sparse CS background. The only quibble I have with it is the instructor states he will show implementations of a linked list, a stack, and a queue after describing the concepts, but does not do so. Thanks!

the explanations could be clearer, i feel like automating them might help understand certain ones, like the sorting items. Don't be afraid to do a second take, the instructor frequently corrects himself and it adds confusion, a second take would be helpful. If you don't have a familiarity with python and math this is going to be a little fast for you.

Voice is too dull. Talking over slides is not an efficient way to teach me. I need more material to read and interact with. A video lecture can be a reasonable introduction to a sequence of lessons, but for me it needs to be supplemented with other modes of presentation. 3 video lectures and nothing else so far, very little will stay with me after all that.

He has very easy to understand explanations. There are some lectures where he is very quiet. That has been my only issue so far in this course.
