- Use Docker to easily run each chapter’s example code, packaged as a Jupyter notebook
- Adapt and contribute to the code’s open source GitHub repository
- Learn how to employ best-in-class Python 3 tools to slice and dice the data you collect

In part one of Mining the Social Web, 3rd Edition, each standalone chapter focuses on one aspect of the social landscape, including each of the major social sites, as well as web pages, blogs and feeds, mailboxes, GitHub, and a newly added chapter covering Instagram. Part two provides a cookbook with two dozen bite-size recipes for solving particular issues with Twitter.
