Ratings and Reviews for Using Python to Access Web Data

An Introductory Course to relieve your fear while accessing web using Python

Good foundation in extracting and munipulating web data

little difficult

Very Good Course. Thank you Coursera for giving me this course.

Awwweeeesssssooooommmmeeeeee

The whole specialization is good till now but the API part got a little fast and bit hard to get hold on too

It is my first time to learn web protocols and how to access web data using python. It is a little bit challenging at the beginning while it is fun to learn something new.

crisp coverage of important topics on the subject with good exercises to implement the learnings

This course, unlike the previous ones, seemed a little boring, to be honest, but maybe that's because this is the very first time I was introduced to many topics (even though I'm a current computer science student) that were taught in this course. Another thing is that it was more about using the codes that are already given and modify them to get the desired output. Because of that, I'm still not sure whether I have to learn or memorize all of the lines written in a particular file or I'd be well of just by knowing what line of code is doing what and by being able to modify and use them to get the work done. Google Maps and Twitter API is also shown in this course, so hopefully in the future when I will be I need to use them, I'll rewatch the videos and follow up with the sample code. Overall, it was a good experience.

thank you Dr.chuck for great explanation.
