Alp's class is amazing! I am so grateful to have taken this class. I tried other online classes before, but the teaching was not structured enough to digest. I would be bogged down by new concepts constantly and just make learning a pain. Alp's class however is so easy to follow and I was able to scrape websites on my own right after each class. It's just amazing how such a resource exists! Thank you so much for creating the class.
