Ratings and Reviews for Using Python to Access Web Data

Very well organized. Dr. Chuck is awesome!

Concepts are explained very clearly.

Its a good course.

Pretty straight forward to do assignments based on sample codes

This course has been a Godsend to me. I was so confused about so many things and all the other resources I could find out there just assumed that I knew things about which I was, in fact, clueless. I got the book and watched a lot of the lectures twice but in the end I really feel like I got it. The assignments were manageable and doable after the course lectures and I have gone back and done a number of them over again to solidify things in my mind. I feel like the web is my friend now, not a source of cheap tricks and booby traps. Thanks!

The course was a bit too shallow for me, the techniques shown are very basic examples of what can be learnt using stock python libraries (json, socket, urllib, ElementTree) or external (BeautifulSoup). I really expected something more, for instance authentication techniques, or methods to parse complex websites, rather or in addition to the basics shown here.

Cool

Simply Awesome!
