Python for noob
I want to learn Python for web scraping and some basic website. I am 28 years old. I don't know any programming language. What resources would you suggest?
- hgarg 10y agoStart with this - learnpythonthehardway.org You can read and follow along the book online for free.
- thalesfc 10y agoUse selenium.py, it is by far the easiest and scalable solution out there. (believe me I have tried everything, beautiful soup, request.py, scrapy.py ... )
- pynerds 10y agoAny tutorial to learn selenium.py

The first link is a straight following link, and the second one is a 30mimn video that goes through all available Python crawlers. My recommendation: follow the first one if you are sure to use selenium or watch the second link to check all possibilities.
