Web Scraping Workshop
John R. Gallagher (Assistant Professor of English at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) provided an extremely useful workshop on web scraping at DePaul today.
The workshop was introductory, and used the XPath query language and Google Sheets to begin, and then mapped out how R and Python could be used to automate.
Planning to come back to his resources and dig in deeper.
