Scraping for Journalists – ebook out now

My ebook Scraping for Journalists: How to grab data from hundreds of sources, put it in a form you can interrogate – and still hit deadlines is now live.

You can buy it from Leanpub here. Leanpub allows you to publish in installments, so you get an alert every time new content is added and update your version.

There’s a Facebook page and a support blog for the book for commenting too.
