Hey all Hacks and Hackers.
It’s time for our first Meetup in 2014!
How do you extract data from the web? And how do you use it for a great project? Join us for a web scraping themed night in the creative surroundings of Founders House in Copenhagen to find out.
Hacker Kræn Hansen will tell us the basics of scraping the web for valuable information that you can’t find anywhere else. He will also talk about how to go from an idea to a successful scraping project.
With a handful of real life examples, former national police researcher Lars Underbjerg will join us. After working with trawling the web for child pornography, he has left the force to work on his own projects – all evolving around how to automate getting valuable information off the internet.
Afterwards, it’s time to get creative and learn some savvy tricks from each other and how you can use them in real life.
Both Kræn and Lars will stay through the night to help us out with cool tricks and troubleshooting.
Here’s the plan:
19.00: Welcome
19.15: Kræn Hansen takes us through the basics of Web Scraping
19.45: Lars Underbjerg brings us real life examples
20.15: Break
20:30: Get hacking
22.00: See you next time

I'm sick today so will give up my spot to someone else. Any way I can get slides, etc, as I really am interested! Sad to miss it!

I would really like to attend I have created a very advanced webscraper system and are looking for new ways to use it. Currently it is used by www.airplaymusic.dk. The product is called Netscavator.

Hi Martin, sounds interesting. Only one thing to do - and that is to wait for enough people to RVSP "no" so that you can get a spot. Otherwise, we'll see you next time:)

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
