A beginner-friendly, project-based approach to learning programming. In this video you'll watch me build a simple Humble Bundle web scraper prototype in Python, as if I was sitting next to you and explaining every line of code as I write it.
This video includes mistakes and wrong turns, because they're a great opportunity to learn what the basic programming and software development flow in Python *actually* looks like in real life.
2:04 - Basic Python Project Setup
4:30 - Basic virtualenv Usage
5:38 - Start programming our prototype!
6:42 - Making HTTP Requests with requests (HTTP client for Python)
12:48 - Parsing HTML with Python and Beautiful Soup (bs4)
18:20 - Inspecting HTML/DOM Elements in your browser
27:54 - Designing the Target Datastructure
32:10 - Python List Comprehensions
37:55 - Designing our most common Datastructure Operations
47:39 - Advanced Python List Comprehensions
49:57 - Splitting the page into product rows (Solution)
59:45 - Running the prototype
