Our Verdict
This course offers a basic introduction to web scraping using Python, touching upon three influential libraries ━ Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, and Selenium. While it presents hands-on projects for applying the knowledge, the depth of understanding leaves room for improvement. Insufficient explanations around fundamental concepts coupled with overreliance on external resources create challenges for learners. Despite instances where crucial details are neglected or topics seem disconnected, those looking for a beginner's overview might still find value.
