Jakob Greenfeld – Scraping The Web For Fun and Profit

In the past 12 months, I built 5 profitable businesses and made over $100,000 leveraging my web scraping skills.

In this course, I’m for the first time sharing everything I know about the topic.

You should have some experience with a programming language like Python, JavaScript etc.

I’m doing my best to make the course as self-contained as possible and Python is really simple to learn if you have experience with any programming language. And of course, if you already know some Python, you definitely won’t have any problems following the course.
