I only rated courses in the py4e specialization with 5/5 so far, but I'm gonna be honest, this wasn't good. The average student that takes this specialization is not nearly prepared enough to start using Python for accessing web data as they only wrote several programs containing 30 lines of code each. And this showed when the teacher couldn't even give any interesting and challenging 'home exercises' , because he knew the topic was covered at a very,very superficial level and the students are complete beginners.
The third course of the specialization should have pushed students into deeper and deeper procedural Python, by building on the first 2 courses until they could make a few small projects by themselves, then go into OOP, make a few object oriented projects, and only then get into web and databases. As always, see you in the next course.

By far the hardest course I had to take.
Sorry but this course is totally impossible to understand without a previous knowledge and the gap bewteen the 2nd course and this one is huge
awesome!!!!!
really intutaive way of learning
It solidifies the concepts of lists, dictionaries and many more data structures being used by python libraries is communicate over web. This course is good for beginner who want to get started with the notion of how basically data on web is transferred and it does not go into great detail to explain everything
great for beginners
should clear the concepts of how to write code for assignments
one of the best courses I have ever had
Excellent course, loved it. Highly recommended
