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.

It was a good intro to the subject but could have used more depth in how the functions for accessing APIs actually worked.

Many important things like how import works, were omitted. Otherwise a very good course and easy enough to understand it.

Felt that the course could be more informative with some more concepts and could also incorporate a project kind of thing

The video is too easy while assignments are more difficult. Maybe we need more instruction in order to learn efficiently.

Could have used more graded homework problems. I understand the foundations, but could have used some more solidification

Good course, I think Charles should avoid explaining the code so in detail sometimes that makes the course pace very slow

Easy explanations.., but just a little bit over-knowledged assignments.

Anyways., It was a fantastic journey..I loved it.

Some confusing info in the last part. Lots of information on stuff like REST, which could have been explained better.
