Review for Web Scraping Tutorial:

The tutorial is very well-organized and informative. One thing I appreciate very much is that it encourages readers to supplement their learning with other resources (and provides links to those resources at the end). The use of visual aids (ex: screenshots of code and output) to complement the instructional content is very effective at illustrating the topics being explained. I also think the decision to include a list of prerequisites is very helpful for readers to determine if they are adequately prepared to dive into the material taught in the tutorial.

One thing that could make this tutorial even stronger is adding a table of contents at the beginning to give readers an idea early on of what they can expect the tutorial to cover. One other thing that could be interesting is to include a section where you discuss how readers could expand on the knowledge they have gained (what they could do next, now that they have learned web scraping).

Progress: I received feedback, and I will work on adding a table of contents.
