As a coder since the 80's I can pretty much guarantee you will never learn all the functions, libraries, plugins or imports or methodologies in a programming language. There are just too many and you use most so infrequently. Maybe old languages like basic and pascal might have a low ceiling on functions etc.. But that is what having another tab open on google is for, cos you will never be the first to face a given problem.

@@JohnWatsonRooney Hi John. Im trying to go thru this tutorial. But at around 15:30 mark, my code is exporting a blank file. I can't figure out why? Also the items scraped count (100) in your case < ---- this line is NOT available in my terminal output I am using the exact same code as you.

Again, excellent video! There are so many idiotic tutorials online where the authors seemingly do not understand neither terminology nor the process flow of what they are teaching. In this great example even the recursive scraping was made easy and elegant and John actually pointed out that this is recursive scraping which, in its nutshell, is a foundation of any real life spider. Thank you!
