I thought the course was very well done. Everyone did a great job at explaining the topics and they built on each other in an intuitive way. I am glad that I took the course and will have the material to reference for the future. Thanks for making this!
When I first learned how to interface Python with the multitude of web services and data sources on the internet, a whole new world of automation opened up for me.
Python is a fantastic language to connect different services and to process data from all kinds of sources. But trying to find good tutorials on how to work with these services and their variety of data formats had me smacking my head against the table... That is until I found "Consuming HTTP Services in Python".
What I love about Michael's course is that it covers the whole spectrum-from web scraping with BeautifulSoup to parsing JSON from well-structured RESTful APIs.
So whether you're dealing with plain binary data, JSON or XML encoded responses, or even SOAP services, the course always has your back.
"Consuming HTTP Services in Python" is organized well and easy to follow along. Michael's delivery as an instructor clear and to the point. The editing work is excellent. As a result I can highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn more about interfacing with data sources on the web using Python
Just wanted to publicly thank Michael Kennedy, Bob Belderbos, and Julian Sequeira for creating this course. It's improved my day to day work life several times and expect it to keep paying dividends into the future. It's really an incredible piece of work I can't recommend highly enough.
