ACM — iSchool Chapter

Join us for our October Brown Bag Lunch, and learn how to automate web scraping using Python!
Brown Bag Lunches are short conversations and workshops held over lunch hour between classes at the iSchool.
Web scraping is a popular technique used to extract data from the web. This session will provide an example of a completed web scraping script that collects selected pieces of information embedded within a website’s source code to create a data set. The focus will be on explaining the logic behind the code so that attendees can mimic the technique for similar projects.
 
Location: BL 307
Time: 12:10-1PM
 
Required skill level: Basic knowledge of python and html source code beneficial, but not required for the event. Non-coders can benefit by getting an introductory review of how scraping works.
As always, coffee & snacks will be provided!
