I’ve been learning about web scraping and data visualization mainly through articles published on medium, and while I’ve found dozens of articles that give a quick intro to web scraping, very few go beyond that.
I hope to provide suggestions on how to find data within a site’s html source code, how to scrape multiple pages and collect data, and what to do once one actually has the data she wants.

I started following the renewed interest of the 2014-elect Government of India in Solar Power and how this free and clean energy can power the India in 21st century.
Unlike its predecessors the government aimed for steep target of 100GW of solar capacity by 2022.
I was dragged into this and wanted to realise this target with data. Thank you to Hans Rosling I didnt have to reinvent it just gather data a learn a bit of D3.js.
