A collection of videos that explain and demonstrate practical and up-to-date usages for Puppeteer, inspired by the "Getting to Know Puppeteer Using Practical Examples" article.
A little over a year ago, I published an article overviewing a variety of available capabilities in Puppeteer. Since there were many positive feedbacks, I decided to remake the content as highly focused videos considering up-to-date practices.
That’s only the beginning - I’m planning to make more videos, so you can save the full playlist on YouTube. Also, if you like this kind of work - subscribe to my YouTube channel today to not miss new content.
