I really enjoyed doing this course. Assignments are very useful and practical. E.g. I know how to import data from WEB (html, xml, JSON) and know how to use regular expression in Python code.

I have had little experience writing code, but wanted to write a little program to interface with a Web API. This course was really good to teach me the basics of API interfacing with python.

This is one of the Best intermediate python course you would find out there. Being taught by a professor from a reputed University, you could blindly enroll. It mainly focuses on Web scraping

Dr. Chuck makes learning and using Python to 'non-trivial' Web -access tasks so easy I would not have believed is possible. This course gives kick-start for your own attempts to conquer Web.
