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.

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.

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

Great course. It shows how relatively easy it is to extract data from web pages and Google/Twitter APIs using Python. Eye-opening.

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.

Personally, I struggled at bit, but that was mostly due to lack of time. If you read all the instructions carefully, you'll be fine.
