À propos de cet e-book

Python Automation is a detailed, practical guide to Python Automation for Beginners and Non-Programmers for readers who want a clear path from understanding the topic to using it confidently in real situations. The book is designed as a structured learning companion rather than a shallow overview: it introduces the core ideas, explains why they matter, then develops them through realistic examples, guided practice, scenario-based explanations, and common mistakes to avoid. Readers are taken step by step from foundational concepts into everyday applications, with each chapter building on the previous one so the material feels progressive, usable, and easy to revisit. The main areas of focus include Your First Automation: Why Python and What You Can Automate, Setting Up Your Automation Workshop, Understanding the Building Blocks, Controlling the Flow: Conditionals and Loops, Automating File and Folder Tasks, Working with Text: Strings, Files, and CSV Data, Web Scraping Made Simple, Sending Emails Automatically, Error Handling and Debugging, Handy Python Automation Cheat Sheet, giving the book a concrete learning arc that moves from orientation and confidence-building to applied communication, problem solving, and independent practice. The writing style is direct, supportive, and accessible, making the book suitable for self-study, classroom reinforcement, professional development, or personal improvement. It emphasizes practical understanding over abstract theory, so readers can immediately connect the lessons to conversations, decisions, habits, and challenges they are likely to face outside the page. By the end of the book, readers should have not only a stronger grasp of the subject, but also a collection of repeatable strategies, useful language patterns, mental models, and practical routines they can continue applying after they finish reading.

À propos de l'auteur

Elizabeth Ross is a software engineer and educator with over a decade of experience in Python development. She discovered the power of automation early in her career, when she wrote a script to rename and organize thousands of digital photographs for a non‑profit she volunteered with. That single weekend project saved the organization weeks of manual work and inspired her to focus on making programming accessible to non‑developers.

Elizabeth holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Washington, where she researched human‑computer interaction and taught introductory programming courses. She later worked as a backend engineer at a startup, building automated data pipelines and internal tools. In 2020, she launched a YouTube channel (Code with Liz) that demystifies Python automation for everyday users, now reaching over 200,000 subscribers.

Her teaching philosophy is simple: code should be a tool, not a barrier. She designs every course and book around real, relatable tasks—sending invoices, cleaning up downloads, backing up photos—so that readers immediately see the value of what they’re learning. When she isn’t coding or teaching, Elizabeth enjoys hiking the Pacific Northwest trails, experimenting with home automation, and volunteering as a mentor for Girls Who Code.

*Python Automation* is her third book, following *Data Cleaning with Python* (2021) and *Everyday Scripts: 50 Python Projects for Productivity* (2023). She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her two cats, Pixel and Byte.
