This hands-on 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.

PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is being delivered in a FLIPPED CLASSROOM format. This means that participants will be responsible for working through the online materials at their own pace IN ADVANCE of the scheduled meeting time. During the scheduled meeting time, the instructor will demonstrate how to complete the example exercises and will be available to answer questions related to the workshop materials. The instructor WILL NOT walk through all the online materials during the scheduled meeting.

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