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....

Could have used more graded homework problems. I understand the foundations, but could have used some more solidification

Good course, I think Charles should avoid explaining the code so in detail sometimes that makes the course pace very slow

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