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....

Gah! The second last assignment...for items in data['comments'] :Took me an hour to figure out that I needed to add that last bit in brackets! It just did the for loop twice each time... All the best!

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.

I would have liked to be given more challenging assignments, or a final project that involves a real-world application

Easy to follow, teach some basic skills and background information

This course is helpful for beginners, not for majors

The course was nice. But XML was kind of difficult, would be better if somehow there were more programs as examples.

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

The class is awesome! Thank you all!

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

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

Great content, but some of the assignment questions are not mentioned or included in the ebook or lectures videos
