Python Practice Course: Web Scraping with Python

This Python Practice Course is designed for people who have just started with Python programming and are having trouble finding suitable coding exercises online.

This Python Practice Course is a logical continuation of any Python tutorial. This Python course allows Python beginners to get experience doing web scraping job with BeautifulSoup, Requests and Lxml libraries.

During this Python course you will get a lot of experience in Python programming.

Also the "Python Practice Course: Web Scraping with Python" will show how one can treat the Internet as a source of data.

You will learn how to efficiently extract data from the web. You will learn how to use a scraping library (Python's BeautifulSoup) to read data from websites and identify and extract specific values from it.

We will scrape, parse, and read web data a lot.

Our goal is to give as much Python experience and practice as possible.

But we assume that you have learned the basics of Python syntax from any Python tutorial, and have the equivalent knowledge.

You should already know about variables, if statements, for and while loops, basic Python data structures (at least about lists, dictionaries), how to work with strings, and how to read and write into a file. Ideally, you don’t have much practical experience with Python programming and would like to practice your coding skills.
