It's not that easy like previous two courses. But I'm glad that I had a little bit idea about regular expressions, networking, xml and REST before starting this course.

The course gives good start to python programming. Wanted little extra knowledge on the data structures in python but that maybe a story in some other python course.

I have learnt many new things. Assignments are really helpful in implementing the concepts learnt and recalling the things learnt in previous courses.

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.

All around, not as easy as previous courses, but the reference material and quizes/assignments were interesting and helpful.

Wonderful Course on Web access with python. I must admire the wonderful learning skills of Dr. Chuck

this course scaled up my ability with python and my understanding of the basics

Very beautiful and probably the toughest one till now in the 5 series

Using Python to Access Web Data of good coursed of python skil

Very good for start learning how to access data using Python

very usefull ,requier hard work,very intersting

estupendo para seguir profundizando en python.

This Course Is Absolutely Outstanding

Хороший курс, Спасибо

wonderful course

Very Good

so happy

The first two courses needed to completed this course successfully.

I have previous experienced of programming with c++ and javascript. So this wasn't

difficult to me. However, I have learned a lot of about web services. How to retrieve

web data with python and manipulate them. From week 1 to week 4 was, how can you

retrieve web pages, how to request a server and get back web data using some python

libraries like urllib(a python library to retrieve web page). Overall, for the assignments

you have to know programming logic a little bit. After retrieve web pages you need to work

with data. So you have to know conditon, loop, list, dict etc. All the assignments of this

course is calculate sum or count of a list of data.

The last two weeks you will get familiar with xml and json. These two is the communication system for

service provider and consumer. How easy they communicate and exchange their data.

It uses for the service oriented approach mostly.

Solid course, just like the first two. Level clearly increases from the basics, you gotta use everything you've learned so far. A shame that some of the google API content discussed has become less relevant/useful now that google has moved the data behind a paywall.

4 instead of 5 because of unclear discussion of "REST" in the final week. It isn't discussed in the actual lecture videos or discussed in the book, yet is brought up in the quiz. Repeated confused questions in the the discussion board (plenty of which are years old at this point) have not changed this.

A big shame that the staff in the discussion often seems frustrated with the students, making their answers less than helpful, even rude. Perhaps the team is too small or the workload to heavy? Given the price of coursera I would expect better.

I love Dr Severance and enjoyed the two previous courses, but in this third one I found the assignments particularly challenging with some disconnection between the examples in the slides and what was expected from our side. In any case, I don't want to discourage anyone from taking these courses because I still find they are fantastic.

Really good course. I learnt a lot of new things.

Just a comment: The second assigment in which you need to use the Beatiful Soup library seems to be very challenger according to what you see in the lectures. Maybe you should add a copple additional lessons on that topic to better explain how it works.

Thanks and regards.
