کتاب Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

If you’ve ever spent hours renaming files or updating spreadsheet cells, you know how tedious tasks like these

can be. But what if you could have your computer do them for you? Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, 2nd

Edition teaches even the technically uninclined how to write programs that do in minutes what would take hours

to do by hand—no prior coding experience required!

This new, fully revised edition of Al Sweigart’s bestselling Pythonic classic, Automate the Boring Stuff with

Python, covers all the basics of Python 3 while exploring its rich library of modules for performing specific tasks,

like scraping data off the Web, filling out forms, renaming files, organizing folders, sending email responses, and

merging, splitting, or encrypting PDFs. There’s also a brand-new chapter on input validation, tutorials on

automating Gmail and Google Sheets, tips on automatically updating CSV files, and other recent feats of

automations that improve your efficiency.

Detailed, step-by-step instructions walk you through each program, allowing you to create useful tools as you

build out your programming skills, and updated practice projects at the end of each chapter challenge you to

improve those programs and use your newfound skills to automate similar tasks. Boring tasks no longer have to

take to get through—and neither does learning Python!
