Daily Deal: The Complete 2019 Web Scraping Course

from the good-deals-on-cool-stuff dept

The Complete 2019 Web Scraping Course gives you a look at the basics of web scraping and data extraction in just 7 hours. For the uninitiated, web scraping removes the burden of manually copying data from a website and instead provides an automated way to do it. Data extraction is done from websites using some sort of a code written called a “scraper” which takes a Web URL, parses the HTML DOM of that site, and then returns the result which can be saved in some format for future use. These processes are tackled in this 59-lecture course in 3 parts: Setting up the environment, Building Blocks & Syntax, and Projects. This course is built using the easy to understand NodeJS and automation testing tool Selenium so you can get up to speed faster. It's on sale for $13.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
