Introducing Web Scraping and Go

Collecting, parsing, storing, and processing data are essential tasks that almost everybody will need to do in their software development career. Staying on top of emerging technologies that greatly improve the stability, speed, and efficiency of application development is another challenge. To provide insight into how to accomplish both of these goals, I have written this book. Here, you will find a guide for performing web scraping in Go. This book covers a broad perspective on web scraping, from the basics of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to building highly concurrent distributed systems.

In this chapter, you will find explanations on the following topics:

  • What is web scraping?
  • Why do you need a web scraper?
  • What is Go?
  • Why is Go a good fit for web scraping?
  • How can you set up a Go development environment?
