[ NEW RE-RECORDED VERSION! ]

Have you heard about Mark Zuckerberg? He has invented Facebook. But before that, he created site called FaceMash. The goal of that project was to compare 2 girls and choose which one is hotter. They weren’t just random girls. They were college students. People knew them and that was the point.

But how Mark got all those girl’s photos? It’s simple. He fetched them from public search of colleges.

He wrote some script to do that for him, because downloading manually all those pictures would’ve taken a lot of time.

And this is similar to what we are going to do in this course.

We are going to fetch people’s profiles from website called Badoo and filter them by names.

Basically this idea stands even for Google search.

Google is parsing pages from the internet and then filter collected data.

This is exactly what we you’re going to learn in this course.

You’ll learn how to use JavaScript and Node.js to fetch HTML code from every website you want!

You’ll create a project with following features:

Getting HTML code from any URL you want with Node.js
Parsing HTML code to the DOM with JSDOM library
Filtering parsed DOM by user names
Passing form values with query strings to Node.js
noUiSlider library for nicely looking age range slider
Express framework

It’s worth mentioning that every lecture has it’s own source code files. So if you will somehow stuck you can always compare your code with code from particular lecture.

Now here’s the question:

Do you want to effectively learn Node.js with modern JavaScript by creating your own web scraper?

If so, just enroll in this course now.
