This course will show how one can treat the Internet as a source of data. We will scrape, parse, and read web data as well as access data using web APIs. We will work with HTML, XML, and JSON data formats in Python. This course will cover Chapters 11-13 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-10 of the textbook and the first two courses in this specialization.

The course teaches the basics of how to interact with the internet using Python. The course is simple, well explained, has great interviews with people who were part of the creation of the internet.

Several modules are introduced but very superficially, because the concepts/protocols to which they relate are not covered in detail

Wasn't detailed and couldn't follow where it was heading at..Instructor just covers a part of it and it pretty much feels useless ..

As most of Severance's courses on Coursera, there is no real challenge or learning curve, these are simply very light introductions.

I learned a few new things on this course. It's not so much about the Python language as about the things you can do with it on-line

Meaning of a lot of things was not explained properly and more of mugging up stuff was taught but in overall i enjoyed the course,

I feel the course was introduced much earlier than was needed. We could have learnt much simpler stuffs such as Numpy and Tkinter.

Starting by the third week, the explanations had a lot to improve, I had to check in other places in order to finish the exercise

This course could have been more detailed and less paced. Students are not given enough time and practice to grasp new concepts.

The background knowledge for some of the assignments was not properly covered in the lectures. Had to rely heavily on the forum.

The worked examples need more explanation. The first example of google API is not even updated because it doesn't work anymore,

Assignments are very easy, and there aren't easy to follow notes that one can use instead of always having to watch the videos.

I didn't like thie explanations given with this one. I simply copied and edited the code syntax to get through the assignments

too many lectures in single week , very difficult to freshly learn so many things at once and apply them in the assignments.

The video lessons often are not as beneficial, as materials on site and slides from: https://www.py4e.com/lessons/servces

I think maybe Professor Charles wants to squish too many things into this course and it really make it not easy to follow.

It's been difficult for those who are not from a computer background. More basic lectures should be added for json,xlm

Quite interesting, but I must confess that, after the first two courses, this one did not make me so enthusiast
