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.

Interesting course, I consider information about XML and JSON as very informative. I will continue specialization "Python For Everybody". Thanks for Dr. Chuck and everyone, who created this material.

Great class, like the previous ones. However, I liked the split screen with the slides on one side and the video on the other better.

Practical and engaging course. I was pleased that Charles has assignments completed in an IDE/command line and not Jupyter Notebook.

Much better than previous 2. Very direct to the point course. Not digging too deep, but opening a vast universe for future research.

Estuvo muy interesante el curso, creo que debería tener unos cuántos ejercicios más para practicar. Pero aún así estuvo entretenido.
