Ratings and Reviews for Using Python to Access Web Data

very friendly, task isn't tough, learn much.

Very helpful as well as inspiring

Great class! Great materials. Thanks so much.

Very good explained I enjoyed the lessons and the exercises, I ran into some issues but i was able to finish all my assignments by reading the comments at the forum. Dr Chuck is a great teacher

I thought the content layout for Courses 1 and 2 were okay. However, when I got to Course 3: Using Python to Access Web Data, I was extremely disappointed. This specialization is advertised as one does not require programming experience. Course 3, however, introduces a variety of computer science topics that I believe cause information overload for a beginner. A student is bombarded with information about regular expressions, the HTTP protocol, web sockets, URLs, HTML, XML, JSON, and APIs. In fact, the video lectures spend the majority of the time explaining these concepts, while spending very little time explaining how to use Python to access web data. The corresponding book, Python for Informatics, was of little help understanding the assignments. Like the videos, the book lacks sufficient numbers of examples. The few examples that are given lack adequate explanations of the code they contain. I found myself on many occasions asking, "What exactly does this line or block of code do?", and could not locate the answer. If not for the forum, I would not have been able to complete th

Great course

Great introduction how to get data from web data in different format and ways. It's really esay to manipulate data jason from API Rest

Challenging assignments, great teaching. I don't understand half of what these computer nerds are talking about, but I am figuring out how to complete their assignments. I must be learning something.

Not to easy so you have to understand what does what you want while not being so hard that you cannot find the answer and solve your errors by yourself

good basic course
