      What is it?
      Automate the Boring stuff by Al Sweigart is a book available for purchase as hard copy and online via a CC license. It teaches Python (Python 3) skills from scratch using concrete use cases such as searching for text across multiple files, updating files and folders or splitting and merging PDFs.

      Who is it for?
      Like it says in the title ... it's for "total beginners" to Python 😜

        @Micky This is great, thanks for sharing. I would like to add this online course for python beginners that has some problems to solve and lets you practice writing python in the browser, without all the hassle of opening a terminal!

          @Micky Great suggestion! Still had a book voucher laying around so ordered it immediately (together with inventing your own computer games with Python) 😊
