Project: Electronics Bash - #23- Raspberry Pi and the Internet


One computer isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion computers.
And a few million other computers to connect them together.

This week, we'll continue delving into programming on the Raspberry Pi with Python, and how we can connect to the internet to receive data, scrape websites, and influence our programs with online data.

Topics Include:

  • Getting web data with the Requests library
  • Parsing HTML using Beautiful Soup
  • Python Dictionaries
  • API's - what are they and how can we use them?
  •
