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.

I have not found an easy way to learn how to code with python language. Mentor are really helpful and Dr Chuck is one of the most self explain professor that I have met in my three university career.

Great course. nice challenges to move me forward in my exploration of python. I learned html in mid-90s for a course and it was nice to see where things have progressed.

It is my first time to learn web protocols and how to access web data using python. It is a little bit challenging at the beginning while it is fun to learn something new.

Great lessons on how to access web data using python. I really like the way Dr Chuck enjoys and makes learning fun in particularly the singing with a band in Switzerland.

This course further expand on the previous P4e course. It touched on the basic web data structure.

By completing this course you are able to build some basic web scrapper.

Great class/specialization. A month ago I didn't know anything about programming and now I'm web scraping with python and can see a path towards actually coding for once.

I am a daily user of the web. I ignored how its works. Now I understand its principle. Python is a good support to understand.

Again this course was very very interesting.

The regex, web, XML, and JSON parts are super useful. I learned them a bit during the work but never had a good understanding of them. This course really clarifies them.

Learn some new things about API, JSON, XML. I have heard of these terms before but never learned actively by myself before. It's interesting to receive a course on that.

Dr. Chuck does a great job of taking students through from simple to increasingly complex topics in a logical way. I've enjoyed the course and I'm excited to learn more.

the course is good but i think one thing can make it prefect for beginners which is more practical exercises to make the student feel confident moving to the next lesson

I like the way Dr Chuck teaching, he gave the fundamental lesson of what we need to know for accessing the web. This is may differentiate with other course. Great work.
