When I was vacationing, I also had plantains for the first time. In the form of plantain fries, they were very good.

I'm a dumbass at computers but I'm gonna try to figure out how to scrape data from Wikipedia and Google maps to build an app where you give it your location and the name of a famous artist and it tells you where the closest work by that artist is to you. Tbh I'm kinda surprised it doesn't already exist
sounds like a neat little project
Unfortunately the only program I know well enough to do it in is excel, which I'm sure is not the right tool for the job. But like I said I know nothing about programming and whatnot so it's gonna be a learning process
honestly, python is super easy. and I'm not some programmer saying that, I didn't know shit about anything programming related and sat down and decided to make some little test games with it.
there is so much documentation, and tutorial wikis, videos,and people tend to know it well so you can even ask around places like here. it's a good skill to learn and that project sounds a cool way to do it via trying to make something
Word, I was thinking python was probably the way to do the scraping and you just confirmed it for me. I'm gonna pull the trigger on this and actually commit to a project for once, so thank you for the encouragement!
It probably won't help you much but you can download the whole wkipedia
Also since you said you mainly know excel you might be interested in the Apps Script, it allows you to build some cool apps using google sheets and their other services. It uses Java Script which probably isn't the best choice for starting with coding but just an option for you to consider.
