What’s inside

Deep dives with MikeRather than teach you with whiteboards, in the course I show you how I would approach collecting different sets of data in different situations.

That’s why this course uses the concept of deep dives: I’m going in with you, raw & unplanned, to teach you where to look for data and how to extract it.

About your instructor

I’m Mike. I’ve been building multiple software products from scratch, with no outside investments, no team, and even no CS degree.
All of my products are around the idea of collecting third-party data for profit. They include a competitive intelligence tool for e-commerce, a trend spotting tool, and more.
