Supercharged Web Scraping with Asyncio

Web scraping is simply automatically opening up any website and grabbing the data you find important on that website. It's fundamental to the internet, search engines, Data Science, automation, machine learning, and much more.

Opening websites and extracting data are only part of what makes web scraping great. It's the parsing of the data that's where the value is.

This project will cover:

Basic web scraping with Python
Web scraping with Selenium
Sync vs Async
Asynchronous Web scraping with Asyncio

Requirements:

Python experience (at least the first 15 days of this project).
Selenium & chromedriver installed (watch how in this one).
