Web Scraping With Python

There's a lot of data sitting on websites just waiting to be combined with data you have sitting on your servers. During this talk, Robert Dempsey will show you how to create a dataset using Python by scraping websites for the data you want.

In preparation for the talk, please download and install the latest version of Anaconda from Continuum Analytics: http://continuum.io/downloads. If you have Python already installed on your computer, you can skip this step.

We'll get you up and running with everything else you need once you arrive!
