Overall I really enjoyed the course and I hope to continue with the other two modules in the specialization. I would like to suggest to Dr. Severance that he try Visual Studio Code for the code editor used in the course. The IDE has plugins for a very large selection of languages including Python, but also includes Terminal which is used in place of Command Prompt. This saves always having to restart another program which some students might find really inconvenient, and is much easier to see than Command Prompt. I have a good bit of experience with an older version of Visual Studio programming in C++ and the features in the newest version of Python makes some things in C++ seem quite tedious. I suspect that some of these features may have been added in newer versions of Visual Studio, but that is just conjecture. Thank you for the opportunity to learn Python and I look forward to continuing in Data Sciences courses, especially an Astronomy course managing large data sets.

learning a lot
Veyr interessing course. I am not an expert in the subjet, but I am now able to write a program to scrap, parse URLs. I will do more exercices to improve myself.
XML , json, API are no more strange words for me. I recommand this course !
I never signed up for this.
Love you Dr. Chuck, your course is amazing. But I think I do not quite understand some of the sophisticated terms like serialization. If you can add some analogies it would be perfect!
good
Very good for start learning how to access data using Python
this course scaled up my ability with python and my understanding of the basics
This is one of the most useful courses I passed in Coursera. It gives you enough information to get the job done. Not too much and not too little.
This Course Is Absolutely Outstanding
