Our Verdict
Maximilian Schwarzmüller's Web Scraping In Python course offers valuable insights in web scraping fundamentals. While outdated code and insufficient webdriver setup explanation pose minor inconveniences, comprehensive content on static and dynamic web pages along with troubleshooting skills and practical examples overshadow these issues. Aspiring web scrapers would find this Udemy course a solid starting point for diving into web data extraction using Python.
