Day 28 of improving my Data Science skills

Web Scraping Exercise

Today I switched things up. Instead of just talking about it, I recorded a short video showing how I solved a real web‑scraping exercise using Scrapy.

Watch the video on Loom

In the demo I used response.follow() to navigate through the links I scraped.

Statistics Exercises in Python

I also worked through several exercises from Introduction to Statistics in Python, focusing on:

• Using scatterplots to see relationships
• Computing correlation coefficients
• Knowing when to use correlation after visualization

Even though I didn’t record the statistics exercises, they strongly complemented today’s scraping work—one helps you collect data, the other helps you reason about what that data actually means.

I’m enjoying documenting not just what I’m learning, but how I approach problems, step by step.
