If you've ever spent hours renaming files or updating hundreds of spreadsheet cells, you know how tedious tasks like these can be. But what if you could have your computer do them for you?

In this fully revised edition of the best-selling classic Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, you'll learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand--no prior programming experience required. You'll learn the basics of coding in Python and explore the language's's rich library of modules for performing specific tasks, like scraping data from websites, searching for text across multiple files, and merging, watermarking, or encrypting PDFs.

The third edition includes:

  • Expanded coverage of developer techniques, like creating command line programs
  • Updated examples and new projects
  • Additional chapters about working with SQLite databases, speech-recognition technology, video and audio editing, and text-to-speech capabilities
  • Simplified explanations (based on reader feedback) of beginner programming concepts, like loops and conditionals

Even if you've never written a line of code, Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, 3rd Edition will teach you how to make your computer take on tedious tasks and do all your grunt work--the way it should be!
