Web 2.0 Technologies: The Programmable/Dynamic Web
摘要
The web technologies discussed in the previous chapters have been around (at least in a very similar form) right since the beginning of the World Wide Web. While they are still the basis of most websites in one way or the other, new technologies are constantly extending and changing how data is presented and exchanged over the Web. Similar to the older, basic web technologies like HTTP and HTML, we do not have to master all these new technologies in every detail in order to productively engage with the automated extraction of data. In fact, such an endeavor would require a whole curriculum on diverse computer languages, including Python, JavaScript, and SQL.
