Ratings and Reviews for Using Python to Access Web Data

This is not another general Python course which leaves you with an 'idea' of what can be done and you struggle to actually do it. This course is in fact giving you all the relevant tools you need and leaves you with a set of practical skills allowing you to write Python codes to extract Web Data that can be used for further analysis. Creating a web browser, screen scraping, parsing XML, or JSON are among the actual skills you're getting and this is all possible thanks to the first class lectures and materials provided by Dr. Chuck. He has a particular talent and desire to teach and explain things to you so you will understand them for good.

Great course! Very challenging while using all of the knowledge conveyed in the previous courses. The assignments are interesting in getting the lessons topics across. Multiple ways to get the correct results and allows you to be creative.

Very good

good learning on how to exchanging data across the web. Quiz & Assignments are little tricky though overall had a great time.

Wonderful course for anyone with zero prior coding experience, or those who know other languages but want a way to grasp the important basics of Python.

Very useful and practical.

Great training by Chuck

There's in a change in the way of presenting the course. I prefer the previous 2 section though.

Very good short introduction.

I felt a big jump in the learning curve once we reached XML and JSON. I could complete the assignments because all I had to do was make small changes to code provided, but I don't feel like I've even close to understood yet! Will keep re-reading the book chapters...
