Product is rated as #66 in category Python

This course will show how one can treat the Internet as a source of data. We will scrape, parse, and read web data as well as access data using web APIs. We will work with HTML, XML, and JSON data formats in Python. This course will cover Chapters 11–13 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1–10 of the textbook and the first two courses in this specialization. These topics include variables and expressions, conditional execution (loops, branching, and try/except), functions, Python data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries, and tuples), and manipulating files. This course covers Python 3. The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future.

    Great course, very interesting, but I find this part of the program should be optional, since not all the people is interested in retrieveing data from the internet; besides, these are controlled practices. In the real world it’s a little bit more tricky to obtain information from an API and extracting data from a website. Perhaps, this module should be in a different course of its own. That’d be quite interesting to see.

    I liked the course, but somewhat less than the first two from this specialization and I was undecided for a while whether to give 3 or 4 stars. I would have appreciated more background on urllib, API, or ssl, at least in the (admittedly free) text book. I also think that the part on the Service Oriented Approach in its current form is too condensed to be really helpful.

    This course is well structured. I really like how it introduces the high level knowledge in the first 3 weeks and becomes more hands on in the later of the class. My only complaint is some of the materials are out dated. For example, lots of the tasks can be handled by urllib3 but urllib and urllib2 are heavily along the course. urllib3 is not just a simply upgrade from urllib2, it has a lot more functions. And the “bonus materials” section is bit lame to be honest.

In any case, Dr. Chuck methodology is quite marvelous, and keeps us engaged to keep learning, and assuring we don’t go off track. I believe this course provides a good coverage of the subject. From here it’s important to read the reference materials, and probably take yet another course to get some other examples. Loved the content!
