I enjoy solving problems using code and creating videos to help others do the same. Focusing on Python and an interest in the web lead me to web scraping, and how it can be a great tool for people to use to learn to code. Surely you've heard the saying about how the best way to learn is to \"do some projects\", well web scraping is a great project idea that scales well, provides good challenges and can have some personal benefit to you. Anyone can start!Along with data extraction my other main focus is Python and web technologies, building apps with Flask, Django or FastAPI, and learning how to integrate front end frameworks like VueJS to a Python backend.Thank you for coming to my Patreon page and considering support me to carry on creating content and helping others learn in bigger and better ways.JR", "total_members": 214, "paid_members": 32, "post_count": 125, "earnings_per_month": 110.2 }
