Yes, I tried learning a bit today. I found a few youtube tutorials on how to create a scraper, but mostly for Python. Any chance you know a good resource to learn with Ruby?

Thanks! I think I'll need it.

I’m afraid but I don’t know any resources except books about ruby in general.
For the scraper, start with pencil and paper to split the logic in steps, then google to find out how to do that step.
Use Nokogiri ruby gem to parse html pages ;-)
