Hey! Kevin, i was an HR earlier and now am an Aspiring Data Scientist. I have learned a lot from your videos like Pandas, Machine Learning and yesterday I got an assignment of web scraping...believe me you explained it so explicitly that I was able to summit my assignment on time. And, yeah! you have very nice clear voice. Please upload some videos on NLP. You are a magician who can make anyone fall in love with Data Science. Keep it up!

Usually, http requests are sent through port 80 or 8080. What about other ports? I have a connection through a router and the port is different. In the web browser I have to type the IP and the port eg. 192.193.194.195:520. Can it work with Beautifulsoup?

A really interesting lecture series and very useful. Thanks.

[Rdominca]

Beautiful, clear instruction. I would like to share it with kids in my community but can’t, because easily a third will be two offended by the context to follow the technique. Surely you could have found an equally useful example with something neutral? Say, baseball?

[prajwalvenugopal]

What all attributes can be declared in find/find_all function?

[farhankhan-figk]
