Python Coding Study Group: Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

Join us for a virtual intermediate class on the popular coding language Python. This session will explore a very basic Web Scraping project with the Beautiful Soup and Selenium python libraries.

This project is a great first step for those who have a basic understanding of python syntax and logic and want to try writing their first automated script.

We will use Chapter 12 of "Automate the Boring Stuff" by Al Sweigart to guide the discussion. You are encouraged to look over that chapter prior to attending. You can borrow a physical or digital copy of the book from the library or go online here to read it for for free. An understanding of the topics from earlier chapters such as python basics, installing 3rd party python libraries, functions, flow control, and read/write files are covered in Chapters 1-10 of "Automate the Boring Stuff".
