You’ll begin this course by exploring fundamental web concepts and HTML structures. You’ll then use the Requests and Beautiful Soup libraries to extract data from static web pages. Later, you’ll utilize Selenium to interact with JavaScript-driven websites and capture dynamically loaded content. Next, you’ll use CSS Selectors and XPath to pinpoint specific elements on web pages, ensuring precise and targeted data extraction. With this solid foundation, you’ll look into Scrapy, a robust web crawling and scraping framework. Finally, you’ll learn to navigate common challenges such as pagination and login forms, building scalable scraping solutions to tackle real-world projects effectively.

By the end of this course, you’ll have gained ample hands-on experience in web scraping, from crafting automated data collection systems to analyzing trends and insights. Your newfound expertise in web scraping will elevate your career prospects and unlock boundless opportunities in the data-driven world of technology.

Static websites have a fixed layout and content, while dynamic websites have to change content and can interact with users.

Static websites can be accessed through mobile devices, while dynamic websites can only be accessed through desktop computers.

Static websites are created with server-side programming languages, while dynamic websites are created with client-side programming languages.

Static websites have better security measures than dynamic websites.

What is the main difference between static websites and dynamic websites?

The second `<br>` in the first paragraph should be a closing tag `</br>`

The last ```<div>``` element is not closed

The ```<b>``` tag should come before the ```<p>``` tag

What is wrong with the following HTML code?
```HTML
<html>
  <head>
    <title> Quiz </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <h1> This is a heading title </h1>
      <p> This is a <br> paragraph tag with a <br> a line break in it </p>
    </div>
    <div>
      <p><b> this is a bold text </b></p>
    <img src="image.jpg"> This is an Image </img>
  </body>
</html>
```

<p>What is wrong with the following HTML code?</p>
<pre><code class="language-HTML">&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt; Quiz &lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;h1&gt; This is a heading title &lt;/h1&gt;
      &lt;p&gt; This is a &lt;br&gt; paragraph tag with a &lt;br&gt; a line break in it &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt; this is a bold text &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;image.jpg&quot;&gt; This is an Image &lt;/img&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>


Which path should be used to access the text `Average mortality rate per population`? (Assume ```.text``` returns the direct text of the tag.)
```HTML
<html>
  <head>
    <title> Quiz </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <h1> Mortality rate </h1>
      <p> is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population </p>
      <img src="average.jpg"> Average mortality rate per population <br>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
```

<p>Which path should be used to access the text <code>Average mortality rate per population</code>? (Assume <code>.text</code> returns the direct text of the tag.)</p>
<pre><code class="language-HTML">&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt; Quiz &lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;h1&gt; Mortality rate &lt;/h1&gt;
      &lt;p&gt; is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population &lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;img src=&quot;average.jpg&quot;&gt; Average mortality rate per population &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
