I just have to say, this is the best webscraping course I have seen so far. Very well done !

Brother, thank you. I have a learning disability, so it is not easy for me to sit for long times and be focused. I'm incredibly happy right now. Your explanations are easy to follow; I do not feel that I am 'slow'. I just want to say thank you. You're making new learning a pleasant experience for me.

this is what I call quality content. Very logically presented and instructed. Thank you very much for contributing to my future's success in Python.

Just wanted to say thank you! One of the best tutorials that I have seen on webscraping, and very easy to understand and follow. Great Job!

This is definitely one of the best hours I spent on YouTube. Quality content for free. We don't deserve this...

One of the best tutorials on Web Scraping using Python. You started from the very basic level to explain the fundamentals and then slowly took us to using the same techniques to scrape a real web site. Amazing. I see you as my Guru or Mentor being an avid AI/Python enthusiast. BTW, you could have used strip() to remove the leading and trailing white spaces instead of replace(). Thanks again

Excellent tutorial for a total web scraping novice, after watching this I'm already able to pull data from several different websites for my own use case. Knowing very little html coming in, I already feel like I know enough to get to some useful information to analyze offline. Very easy to follow and a great flow by the presenter Jim. Thank you.

I see some comments about people receive none from scraping responses, unfortunately it might be expected from websites that are dynamically changed and being updated, there is a great chance that the website had some updates in this 4-month span, and then it affects your results. Try to scrape differently by inspecting to the elements like I show in the website user interface :)

The amount of hard work and dedication you guys put to create such free content is just Amazing!!!

[brimmae]

Thank you! This was a great introduction for a total beginner to scraping. By the end of it, I was able to use what you taught me on a different website, and I'm starting a scraping project now with what I just learned.

This is the best Python educational video I've watched. The difficulty progression and pacing were perfect.

[notacat]

Great course! I can't get over how he says "beautiful soup" it's wonderful

[funtaf]

I thought this skill would be way above my level as i'm still a student mid way through my under-graduate, but you guys made it look like a child's play. I’m actually able to do web scraping after watching your video. Well done FCC team, good job boys💪🔥.

Glad to finish the entire discussion. I am a 3rd year Computer Science student and this helped me out A LOT!
Thanks again for the wonderful content.

[Stevesteacher]

This was amazing, I didn't know web scraping could be so easy

[tpennyhealth]

This course is mindblowing...
first, the pace is excellent...no bullshiting, straight to the point, clear and concise,
secondly, very detailed... I was able to scrap a real estate website for an analysis i wanted to do

I have found web scrapping quite intimidating, but man this course made it so easy. You are a great teacher. Im short of words

[smhaseeb]

I absolutely love this channel, thanks for teaching us about coding

[Tony_SMB]

This is a fantastic tutorial, probably one of the best I have ever come across. I came into this tutorial with 0 knowledge on web scraping, and came out of it with much more confidence. Excellent work!

Thanks, Jim, that is a great explanation. hands-on practice tutorial pushes me toward more great tutorials. It's rare to find such high-quality free tutorials on the web.
