- netbyte 14y agoWebsite scraping, simple websites, execute tasks quickly from the Desktop
- martharotter 14y agoSites like Scraperwiki work great with Python, PHP and Ruby. Take a look at their examples and see which ones make the most sense to you.
- netbyte 14y agoThanks
- easonchan42 14y agoboth python and ruby is easy to start and powerful, so just pick one you like. As me, I learn python first as my scripting tool(web scraping, system automate task). Then I switch to ruby,it have some suger for you to write less code to complete same task.
- glimcat 14y agoLarger projects: for each, does the code available or the language features make it a substantially smaller project than it would be otherwise? Also, what gives the lowest difficulty to maintain?
