Book Synopsis



This companion to the bestselling Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (500,000+ copies sold) provides hundreds of hands-on exercises to reinforce core material.

Al Sweigart's classic coding book Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, now in its third edition, has taught more than half a million readers how to dispense with tedious tasks using the Python programming language.

In this hands-on companion workbook, Sweigart gives those readers -- and any Python programming beginner -- hundreds of new ways to practice what they've learned. Through a wide variety of exercises, readers will test their understanding of programming concepts, face down tricky challenges, and explore use cases of common techniques.

The workbook's creative projects encourage readers to build games, animations, and digital tools, offering novel ways to think about Python's applications in their everyday life. Covers Python 3.x and its ecosystem of third-party libraries.
