About the Book
Update August 2020: as some readers of my book published by Apress mentioned the initial chapters are out of date as the target website has changed. Now I feel the inner urge to get myself a sample website where you can freely work on the initial chapters and learn the basics. For this, I have the plan to create this basic website by the end of August 2020, and add chapters to this book which will use this example website as the target to teach you how to get started with scraping.
--------------
This book is a manual on website scraping. My aim is to get you started -- even if you don't have any coding experience.
Topics I cover in this book:
- How to approach website scraping in general?
- How to scrape websites if you cannot code?
- Scraping websites with Python and Java.
As I encounter new topics (you can suggest topics you're interested in) I'll add them to this book. This makes it really easy to keep you up-to-date.
