🎩 From FaceMash to Badoo: A Journey into Data Fetching

Back in the day, a young Mark Zuckerberg had an idea that would eventually become Facebook. But before that social media titan, he created FaceMash, a project that scraped photos from the internet for users to decide which girl was "hotter." This wasn't just a simple task; it was a sophisticated data collection method that saved Mark and his team a great deal of time.

Now, imagine having the power to do the same—to fetch and process data from any website you wish! That's what this course is all about. We're going to channel our inner Mark Zuckerberg and create a web scraper with JavaScript and Node.js.

Course Highlights:

• Real-World Application: We'll be working on a project that fetches profiles from Badoo, filtering them by names—just like Google parses pages across the internet for its search engine.

• Step-by-Step Learning: You'll start with the basics of fetching HTML code from any URL using Node.js and progress to more advanced concepts, including parsing that HTML into a DOM with JSDOM, filtering by user names, handling form values with query strings, integrating a noUiSlider library for a sleek age range slider, and setting up a backend with Express framework.

• Hands-On Approach: Each lecture comes with its own source code files. Stuck on a problem? Use these as a reference to compare and learn.
