Python tutorial free and open: Use Python to crawl network data

Recently, we started creating short free courses for those with limited time and budget. The idea is that in a set of short videos with a total viewing time of about an hour, you can learn some useful new skills without paying a penny.

In our latest free course, "Crawling the Web with Python," you'll learn the basics of building simple web crawlers and scrapers using Python.

What you will learn

In a recent business venture, Tuts lecturer Derek Jensen discovered the need to collect large amounts of data from disparate online sources in order to centralize the data and make it easier for people to find and understand.

None of these sites exposed a public API, so he decided to try doing some web crawling and scraping to get this metadata. After some searching, he found that many people turned to Python when they encountered the same problem.

In this course, he shares some of his findings and shows you how to create your own basic web crawler and scraper.
