Next Steps in Python Workshop Series is a seven-part series covering intermediate Python skills, tips, and tricks guaranteed to make your coding life easier. You do not need to attend each session to participate - there is a new lesson each week.

Intro to web scraping with Selenium
Selenium is a browser automation tool that allows users to interact with HTML elements from any website. In this workshop, we will introduce attendees to Selenium and ChromeDriver, a separate executable that facilitates communication between Selenium and Google Chrome. Attendees will learn to deploy these tools to search for and grab data from websites automatically.
Prerequisites: Participants should be familiar with Python at an introductory level.
