I disagree with others here --- I wasn&#x27;t a huge fan of the class.<p>If you took the class, you definitely had to get used to coding in python, and getting used to manipulating data in python.<p>However, when it came time to do anything more interesting than plotting data, the course was very shallow --- many homework assignments boiled down to &quot;fill in this space with a function that takes this as input and outputs that&quot;. While, again, that would totally be useful to someone learning basic scientific python, you don&#x27;t get a good understanding of the statistics.<p>As someone who already had a background in python, I didn&#x27;t feel I learned as much.

The latest material for Spring 2018 can be found at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cs109&#x2F;2018-cs109b" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cs109&#x2F;2018-cs109b</a><p>I was a TF and gave a couple of lectures. AMA.

I took this class last year (some variations, less material covered more deeply) and it was a great survey course for someone who had programming experience but was lacking in stats and ML background!

Similarly structured course on data visualization w&#x2F; d3. covers the fundamentals of the art (mostly Tufte) alongside a pretty decent intro to using d3.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs171.org&#x2F;2017&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs171.org&#x2F;2017&#x2F;index.html</a>

I took this class in 2015, it&#x27;s a great class. Unfortunately, the material from the course are several years old and they stopped updating it.
