Przydatna książka, w której jest opisane, jak sprawnie wyciągać dane ze stron www.
Do ekstrakcji danych autorka głównie się skupia na bibliotekach beatiful soup i selenium języka Python.
Przy okazji poznajemy wyrażenia regularne i sposoby łączenia/zapisywania/itd z bazą MySql.
Na koniec jest opisana w bardzo ciekawy sposób legalność ekstrakcji danych.
Książkę będę traktować jako pomoc w swoich projektach.

Polecam.
