Web scraping is a term used to describe the process of downloading and extracting structured data from the web using a program or algorithm. It's a useful skill to have when you need to extract data from a website that does not have a public API.
The tutorials and articles on TestDriven.io teach how to leverage parallelism and concurrency in order to speed up web scrapers that scrape large amounts of data.
