The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) allows information to be exchanged between a web server and a web browser. C# allows you to program HTTP directly. HTTP programming allows you to create programs that access the web much like a human user would. These programs, which are called bots, can collect information or automate common web programming tasks. This book presents a collection of very reusable recipes for C# bot programming.

I've had this book for a few months and it is the best published bot book.
It tells you need to know about the http protocol to extract data from a site which use javascript and ajax! The parsing libraries are very help, though some tweaking is always necessary given the magnitude of sites.
If you need to write a bot, but don't know how, this book it for you.

the author website do not have his last spider in dotnet, only java
and the source code of his spider is only available in java.
but even tough, the recipes are helpful and save time.
to get the most of this book you needs to be a self-learner.
