I just wanted to tell you that I'm enjoying the Python for Absolute Beginners course. This is the first time I find a course that I truly like and understand. I loved the visualizing part with PythonTutor you included. That's definitely a game changer for me and is the type of add on examples I look for in courses.
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
Sebastian Witowski's - Modern Python Developer's Toolkit Pycon talk is probably worth one month of education for an intermediate Python developer. I highly recommend it!
Discovered a superb Python tutorial this past weekend. The video and companion website covers tools and techniques for the entire development pipeline... I would consider this an advanced tutorial, but it is worth browsing for the exposure to tools beyond the Python library and a stock text editor.
