What you'll learn:

• Web Scraping with Selenium
• Most Important Concepts of XPath
• Scraping Tables
• Data Extraction for Data Science
• Combination of Python, Selenium, Pandas

In this Course you will learn the Fundamentals of XPath, Selenium and the Web Scraping Process. We will cover the Fundamentals and afterwards we are going to scrape Data from real Websites. The first Real Life Project will be the extraction of Data from Yelp and the next Project will cover the scraping process of tables.
