About the Course

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. These topics include variables and expressions, conditional execution (loops, branching, and try/except), functions, Python data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries, and tuples), and manipulating files. This course covers Python 3....

This course was really interesting and did a good job introducing complicated topics in usefully simplified form. It was a pleasure to listen to the instructor and I got everything I wanted out of it.

Great course. The lectures are clear and thorough. The assignments are challenging yet doable. The only thing I would like is to see more assignments to get more practice with the techniques learned.

Good course but I think it needs more code explaining as I was using youtube to understand the code in this course.

The difficulty gap between the lectures and the assignments is bigger than expected. But being challenging is good.

Course is good, the problems should have been a little more complex. Thanks to the faculty for such a great course.

Highly recommended. The programming assignments are very difficult and need some additional web research to solve.

The class is awesome! Thank you all!

Here is a small piece of advice that it's better to use python3 in the future.

much more complicated than previous courses, and needs some extra explanation for courseworks. Especially week 4.

Dr Chuck is amazing. His way of teaching is out of the box. And the Bonus Lectures keep the learning interactive.

As usual, another wonderful course. Bit difficult when compared to previous courses. However, we like complexity.

Great course except it seemed little effort was put into explaining the python side of the week 5 and 6 material.

The sample code for week 4 was misleading and led to some un needed frustration. Otherwise another great course.

After the first two courses this one seems to be much more difficult. Maybe some intermediate course is needed.
