Sometimes it’s a struggle to learn something new. I know when I was first entering the programming world I was lost (a lot). Still today after years of programming I struggle sometimes.
Almost everything you need to learn is out there somewhere but it’s tough when you don’t know where to go or what to ask….. or what to study!
MakeBeta has released a pretty decent tutorial on scrapping links. It’s a great start if your going to be scraping anything. It was also released as a guest post over on Elli’s Blog which is where I came upon it. Hope it helps.
