Hey @henrykaplan , are you still working on this tutorial or should we put it back in the backlog to have someone else pick it up?
Henry said at the meeting he is going to start this on 2022-05-02 with anticipated ETA of 2022-05-12
@akhaleghi No, I've been prioritizing it below the SEIE work. I can aim to have this by May 26 or we could reassign it if that would be faster.
@henrykaplan Just checking in for a weekly update. Is this tutorial still on track for 5/26?
I've added the section we talked about in the May 26 meeting, recommendations for web scraping responsibly. The draft is ready to review.
I've also taken APIs out of the description of the issue - that's a big enough topic that it should probably have its own tutorial.
Hello @henrykaplan, I'm new to HFLA and glad to be here, Abe invited me to this project. I read the doc and thought I could build on it by making quick how-to-video- tutorials from simple to more complex, I'd keep them around 10 minutes. Let me know if/how we can use it. Here's the code I am working on and I'll give updates on videos too.
Hello @henrykaplan,

That sounds great to me!
Hello @ryanmswan and @henrykaplan
Here's an update on the code I am working for code review. Part 1 and part of Part 2 are done. For now, these tutorials will only focus on Python and its packages, as referred to in the documentation.
I've put the writeup on the wiki page. @parcheesime Feel free to add links & descriptions for your videos and code examples when you're ready.
@akhaleghi Should we close this issue, and create a new issue for the videos and working examples? Let me know.
I'm almost finished with the code for the tutorial @ryanmswan and @akhaleghi, I just have one more that I'd like to do then I'll start recording. HERE are the notebooks for code review.
