update link suggestion for case study Ep5 conclusion #37

Closed ragamouf closed 3 years ago

Hello! The following message was sent by a community member to the Carpentries HQ inbox, passed onto the LC advisory committee, and hopefully ending up here in the best place to consider this suggestion.

Hi,

Are you able to please update something on your website?

You are linking to a dead link over anchor text: "This case study" here: https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-webscraping/05-conclusion/

The link is going to this page: http://naelshiab.com/members-parliament-web-scraping/

I found a good working replacement for you here: https://prowebscraper.com/blog/data-mining-examples/

I think it's the best suitable replacement for you. Hope this helps!

Thanks, I also got this message a few times. This is likely someone looking for more traffic to their (commercial) web scraping solution, but they do have a point, that link is indeed dead. I will fix it.

Done. This lesson has a lot of outdated pieces, I'm trying to find the time to fix it this summer.
