Mining Social Media Summary

Mining Social Media by Lam Thuy Vo

With Scraping Social Media you'll learn how to find out what kind of data is available on popular social media juggernauts like Facebook and Twitter and how to recognise the value of what is measured. Practical exercises interweave with conceptual lessons that cover ways to use Python to extract data from social media sources, analyze it, and make sense of it visually. You'll learn how to write a script that taps into an API, how to scrape data from websites, and even how to make sense of emoji usage in your data.

Mining Social Media Reviews

If you want to know a little bit about Data Science while learning Python along the way, Mining Social Media is a must read . . . It's a fun and hands on approach to the topic, and I'd love to have read this when I was starting coding!
-Goncalo Palma, @GonPalma

Excellently written, with complex topics made easy to understand, and has a welcoming style of prose.
-Ryan K. Louie, MD, PhD, @ryanlouie
