Hi everyone.
My name is Pratheerth Padman,
and welcome to my course Scraping Dynamic Web Pages with Python and Selenium.
Currently I'm a freelance data scientist.
I used to work in manufacturing, but because of my love for all things data,
I completely pivoted to data science.
They say data is the new oil,
and if you've seen the amazing things you can do with high quality data,
you'd definitely tend to agree.
You encounter data repositories almost every single day of your life.
And one of those repositories are websites,
which are chocked full of useful data.
In this course,
you'll go all the way from being introduced to Selenium to combining it with
Python to extract information from a dynamic web page.
Some of the major topics that we will cover include opening
web pages with the Selenium web driver, locating elements in a web page,
and loading information from Selenium to Beautiful Soup.
By the end of this course, you'll known how to combine Python,
Selenium,
and Beautiful Soup to navigate and extract information from a dynamic web page.
Before beginning the course,
you should be familiar with basic to intermediate level of Python
programming and have a fundamental knowledge of HTML and CSS.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn advanced web
scraping with the Scraping Dynamic Web Pages with Python and
Selenium course at Pluralsight.
