Webbots, Spiders, and Screen Scrapers is first book I have read on Web robots. Book is very good for beginners and gives moderate understanding of subject. Book assumes that reader should have basic understanding of PHP which is good keeping the topic it is covering. Though Author covers library written by him but that makes book good for beginners and does not bog down the first timers to web robots. Full Review >

It is also clear that the author has used robots to make online purchases. One wonders whose credit card was on the hook for code quality.

I’ve been immediately caught from this book since I’m in a project that is based on a webbot, and I’m developing it using PHP and cURL.
