I'll try to carve out some time to go through the tutorial later today and update things, but now it's a Java site -- STILL WITH A TABLE! Just wanted to ping everyone and make sure you all knew.

I have a former student going through the tutorial on her own and sending me questions as she goes, so I can probably take up the updating.

Making this change fixed it for me https://github.com/ireapps/first-web-scraper/pull/11

Getting this error while following the documentation, any solution? @michaelaharvey

Traceback (most recent call last): File "rtd_scrap.py", line 31, in <module> writer.writerows(list_of_rows) TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Also the target website is very much different as to the one given in the documentation.
