Python Web-scraping: Interactive learning & Q&A session

This workshop will introduce basic techniques for web-scraping using popular Python libraries. This is an intermediate-level, and somewhat challenging, workshop appropriate for those who have been using Python for at least a few months. You should be familar with all of the material in the Python Introduction workshop and have used these skills in your own projects to the point where you are comfortable with them.

This class will be delivered in an online "flipped classroom" format with two distinct stages:

Stage 1 - Interactive learning of workshop materials (2 weeks duration starting 01/15/2021, ending 01/28/2021)

Stage 2 - Zoom question and answer session (1 hour duration on 01/29/2021 at 11am EST).

This workshop will be delivered by the Harvard Business School Research Computing Services group in partnership with the Harvard Data Science Services group at IQSS.
