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....

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.

A bit more challenging than courses 1+2, but that's what I liked most about this course. You learn to integrate your knowledge and apply it to real world scenarios.

Learned a lot... Not too much information thrown at you at once, just enough so you can tackle the assignment on your own with the information you have been given.

Best base overview in coursera for Python to Access Web Data. But, of course, for real life you're need more complicated courses and tasks to get ready for a job.
