10: Where to Go From Here
Suggestions
First off, Congratulations! You now have the basic core knowledge you need to scrape screens with screen-scraper. While this was a very simple example of a scraping session, we covered most of the main principles you need to start your own project.
More Training/Tutorials
If you have the time, we'd highly recommend continuing on to Tutorial 2: Scraping an E-commerce Site. Don't worry, it just one step up. In it we will look at iterating through pages as well as logging in to a site. You could also go through Tutorial 3: Extending Hello World, in which you will learn how to interact with screen-scraper using external scripts like ASP, Java, and PHP (requires that you have a server on which to run the scripts).
Otherwise, you may want to consider reading through some of the existing documentation as you work on your own project.
Still a Little Lost?
If you don't feel comfortable with the process, we invite you to recreate the scrape using the tutorial only for reference. This can be done using only the screen-shots or review outline while you work on it. If you are still struggling you can search our forums for others like yourself and ask specific questions to the screen-scraper community.
