This course was really interesting and did a good job introducing complicated topics in usefully simplified form. It was a pleasure to listen to the instructor and I got everything I wanted out of it.

Gah! The second last assignment...for items in data['comments'] :Took me an hour to figure out that I needed to add that last bit in brackets! It just did the for loop twice each time... All the best!

Good course, I think Charles should avoid explaining the code so in detail sometimes that makes the course pace very slow

Easy explanations.., but just a little bit over-knowledged assignments.
Anyways., It was a fantastic journey..I loved it.

I would have liked to be given more challenging assignments, or a final project that involves a real-world application

Some confusing info in the last part. Lots of information on stuff like REST, which could have been explained better.

The course was nice. But XML was kind of difficult, would be better if somehow there were more programs as examples.
