Work on a project often requires you to fetch information from the internet repeatedly - for example when archiving tweets. Or you might want to download a huge dataset without risking running out of disk space.
In this session we will look at how to set up a server in the cloud and run your code on it.
Participants are welcome to bring code they want to try running, but we'll also provide an example project focused on regularly downloading videos posted on https://map.snapchat.com/.
Participants will learn what tools they need to run their own code on a remote server. Some experience of using the command line is recommended, along with knowledge of at least one coding/scripting language
