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....

Challenging for a newbie like me and required to do a back and forth at times. But loved the lectures where basic explanations by Dr. Chuck helped a lot.

this was more difficult but a subject I have been interested in for a long time. I had to review the material to complete the project but it was worth it.

I liked it very much. Good style, do not go into useless details, focus on understanding, enough to start the deeper understanding on your own. Thank you!

Content is getting harder. Some additional explanation of how to get the from having a URL to pulling in the XML / JSON data would have been beneficial.
