This was an excellent book.

I for one, automate everything.

Pretty much everything on my phone is automated, allowing me to save time not using my phone.

This book helped me automate some of my web and computer projects and tasks.

Highly recommended for task automation tinkerers like me.

4.6/5

Fantastic for learning Python, I recommend pairing it with exercises from the Euler Project for some great problem solving practice. It’ll push you to put to use what you’ve learned here, and there are some very versatile tools to get creative with!

I have a few other introductions to Python, but this one was especially appealing to me. Its example applications are very practical, and it covers regular expressions, file handling, web scraping, working with MSWord and MS Excel files, and handling image files and e-mails.

Really great work.
Less theory more practice (although skipping nothing essential).
Assumes no prior knowledge and gets you to right into business. Highly reccomended for every beginner python programmer especially those who hate the traditional academic style of more theory and less practice.
Even someone who doesnt want to be a "programmer" but want to automate stuff and make life easier can use this as a guide
