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....

我很高兴自己能完成这个课程。 反复循环进行的课程对于时间有限的我来说十分重要,经过两轮课程,终于完成了所有的课堂和作业。 如果可能的话,希望字幕能尽快补全,英文阅读也不错,只是太慢了。
