Tougher than expected, requires more time to understand concepts.

Excellent source of learning python web scraping and web services with XML and JSON and also regular expressions
Felt the assignments could less copy-paste-based
I'm abandoning this course because if it's reliance on urllib. This library isn't supported my environment (Anaconda) and the alternative, urllib3, is too different. I've attempted to work around this limitation with 'requests' but this only got me so far.
IMHO this course should be re-written using the more modern requests module.
I think its easier than courses before, but it's a great step, nonetheless
I just love the professor
Great course for anyone interested in writing basic Python programs to fetch data from the web and manipulate it. Teaches some XML, some JSON and some basic HTML. Had fun, and Dr. Chuck is geeky-awesome.
thanks doc chunk.And other teachers are also helpful,i think.Someone has said that thhi course is so difficult since it requires us to learn by ourselvers ,but i think it is a good thing because teachers can't teach all of the things in a short video.I also enjoy the process of finding problems and figure it out..
it's more difficult but more interesting than previous courses.
Awesome course
