This was yet another one of Dr. Chuck's great course. He really explained the material, made sure the students absorbed everything, gave them decent homework, and covered a wide range of concepts, all of which have proven to be very important.

Challenging. Outstanding TAs and Professor are the only reasons I finally cracked this. I found this to be the most challenging yet of the Python courses, in part because I began a new job role just after the holidays. Glad I stuck with it!

Its a good start to get a basic idea about web scraping. However you should sharpen your skills elswhere for that with projects. The course itself is just to provide a general idea how things work and to save some code snipets for future use;

I just finished this course, the third of a series of five.
I already knew some basis of the arguments, still I've learned a lot.
The approach is very practical, so you can experiment with actual cases of application of the skill you acquire.

This Course was fascinating and introduces you smoothly to what happens behind the 'surfing the web' scenes as well as using Python to access and make use of web data (also demonstrates how cool Python is having all these built-in goodies).

Pretty basic if you're somewhat familiar with Python already. Very thorough explanations. I personally found it slow, but it was review material for me. I think it was all explained well and the exercises and quizzes were constructed well.

Great lecturer! Quiz and assignments are very easy to follow and finish, which keeps student engaged. Hope the programming assignments could be a little more challenging. But I guess that is left for the final project for the whole series.

I applied this knowledge that Doctor Chuck taught me to create a Django web application.
This course is a great source of python knowledge I use it in accord with various api's to customize content for viewing of my website /application.

Such a great course! I've used BeautifulSoup an JSON a lot while scraping the web and this was a nice foundation refresher. It also taught me coding conventions and I didn't realize I needed! Like properly encoding URL parameters to APIs

This course showed me how Python is very useful while surfing the internet. It really helped me to think outside the box. I didn't imagined a programming language could read web data so easily and shows me what I want. Thanks Dr. Chuck.

Great course and very inspiring on networking basics. Hope to learn more about Python. A little suggestion is that you can make week 1, which is about installing Python, optional since most of us have already had Python on our computer.

I enjoyed the class. I need to spend more time understanding modules and oauth concepts.
I applied to be a twitter developer to do the examples. It is challenging. Different than the dinosaur Fortran stuff I started with in 1976. 8-)

This course was simply amazing, I didn't know that python too has simple and powerful libraries like this to make rest call and access web data. Learned a lot of new things, thanks to Dr. Chuck. Highly recommended for python beginners.
