Python or something else?

4 replies
Hi,

I was thinking about getting Ubot or something similar and then I thought why not learn a language that would allow me to do similar things, instead? I'd like to be able to automate web browser activity and build bots etc that I could sell.

I see Python as an option - what would experienced programmers suggest I learn?

I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

    I would definitely recommend Python for building bots. Learn the basics first. You will need to know intermediate level of Python to start building bots the right way.

    Have fun with it! It's definitely a learning curve, but it's worth it.

    Hey,

    you can use Python or Javascript for this mission (With node,js), i also recommend you to read this book for scrapping if this is your goal -

    but if you have a choice I fully recommend python.

    enjoy.

    Well Python is a no brainer but start with and more i would recommend Ubot Studio as it already has Python support and is by far as close as it gets to an automation IDE.

    Python already has extensive web scraping capabilities and if combined it with ubot you can really do miracles with it.
