I would like to parse a particular database on the web. I would also like to store elements of that database in an online MySQL db.
Why this isn’t obvious to me: not sure what language to use, should I be looking at Rails instead of command line python
This is probably the first step in several question, but I suspect you all will provide me insight to links and tutorials
I would suggest learning to program and find a language that you are comfortable in. Then after you know some general principals or Ruby, Python or any other language you should be comfortable tackling this on your own. It just seems to me that you are trying to run before you know how to walk so to speak and if you try to jump too far ahead without understanding the basics you can get yourself into a tricky position.
Here are some tutorials to get you started:
Chris Pine’s – Learn to Program
Zed Shaw’s – Learn Python the Hard Way
