Review of 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' on 'Goodreads'

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.

Review of 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' on 'Goodreads'

There is a reason that this is the number one book recommended to those looking to get started with Python. I went from practically zero Python knowledge to being able to effectively use Python for both work and hobby. The projects included at the end of each chapter are a great way to reinforce what you are learning.
