Assignments really difficult but helps you learn. Discussion forums help a lot as well. The TA's hold the line very well of dangling the carrot of where to proceed but not giving outright answers

I would recommend the "Using Python to Access Web Data" course by Dr. Chuck , as it is a great way to learn how to use Python for web scraping and accessing web data in a simple and practical way.

Regular expressions, JSON, XML, Web scrapping, API. Didn't know what any of these meant before but with this course i understand what they are and how to use them to get information from the web.

got to learn a lot of new stuff that i wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Thanks, Dr.Chuck! You're an amazing teacher and i hope you keep continuing imparting your knowledge in numerous ways :)

This really helped me learning how to use python for exploring web and how service-oriented approach works and it has laid the foundation for learning more about these things for me in the future.

Excellent course, Dr Chuck is amazing in delivering the content of this course in a very unique manner, a great deal of practice and examples and sample code to help students throughout the course

Dr Severance is one of the best teachers I have ever had. The delivery of the course is flawless, the learning materials very thorough and well put together. Very highly recommended set of courses

This course really helped me in learning how the network and api work. Many things happen in the background which we are not aware of. To understand those things one should really try this course.

Very nice intro class to learn how to access web data. Even though the assignment is a little bit easy, i still get a lot of fun exploring the skills i studied to access some websites as exercises

Thanks for presenting the comprehensive introduction on not only python but the knowledge of the internet structure. And the plus interviewing videos with internet pioneers are really interesting.

Sensacional! Ótimo curso, o professor é muito carismático e possui uma boa didática. Além disso, o curso estimula que o estudante desenvolva por si mesmo as habilidades ensinadas. Recomendo muito.

This is a wonderful course for Python Beginners.After you learn this course you can get a knowledge about 'How web browser work',how to retrieve data through web,XML,Jason,web services ,APIS etc.

I was a novice in programming. When started, even I had to struggle to understand what the text editor is . This course helps me to know the path to start the learning. Thank you Dear instructor.

It has been three fantastic courses, I wrote my first own code for checking .xml documents of my work, and I'm so proud.

This is a very helpful tool to get engaged in programming with baby steps.

This is a great course to build upon a python foundation. The material is covered in a way that is easy to understand and remember. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in the topic!

Dr. Chuck is an exceptional instructor. His lucid, logical manner of presenting the information demystifies the code and really brings the power of creating things and manipulating data to life.

This is the most friendly course i have ever had. The course is very useful for beginners with no background in programming and those who want to understand the behind the scenes part of the WWW.

Gostei muito do curso, utilizei o tradutor do google para traduzir o material e para poder acompanhar os vídeos, o professor é excelente, acompanhar suas aulas aumenta nossa fome de conhecimento.

I love the course soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! Just get a little confused when doing assignment 5, the sample seems from week 6. Maybe this can be fixed to enable a better understanding.

Very tidy and step by step course. Dr. Chuck has a great sense of humour, it wants you to keep wanting more. The bonus videos with all the great inventors of the languages is like cherry on cake.

In this course you really start using what you learned in the first courses. Dr. Chuck gives you just enough to get you started, but leaves enough out that the homework can still be a challenge.

I had a little bit of knowledge about Python coding before taking these courses, but it was very insightful and helpful in my quest to learn more and helped instill the things I did already know.

Excellent course, lectures and course materials were presented well and in order. Material does get progressively harder and can seem to be information overload if you don't stop and percolate.

Just one criticism: not a word about classes nor modules. «Just use this magic». Anyway it's really good course, thank you Dr. Chuck! Waiting for Office Hours in Moscow, Russia, you are welcome!

Dr. Chuck seems really passionate about both teaching Python and giving students a understanding of the role Python fills in the world of computer science. Great course for beginner programmers.
