You'll write your first Python program; work with strings, lists, dictionaries, and other data structures; then use regular expressions to find and manipulate text patterns.

Once you've mastered the basics, you'll tackle projects that teach you to use Python to automate tasks like:

  • Searching the web, downloading content, and filling out forms
  • Finding, extracting, and manipulating text and data in files and spreadsheets
  • Copying, moving, renaming, or compressing saved files on your computerSplitting, merging, and extracting text from PDFs and Word documents

You'll also find four new chapters on database integration, speech recognition, and audio and video editing, as well as 16 new programming projects and expanded coverage of developer techniques like creating command line programs.
