Wget Reflection

While looking on Programming Historian for potential trainings to do, I found a program called wget. It primarily allows someone to download webpages directly to their local machine for preservation. I was mainly drawn to it because it works entirely in the command-line interface. I always enjoy building up my skills with using the command-line, so it was fun to use wget in this way. Otherwise, the program itself was pretty simple to use and worked well with downloading the webpages to my computer. I don’t think it will be particularly useful to me in the current moment, but site preservation is always important, so it’s nice to know about an option to save entire pages.
