If you copy the same files, fill the same spreadsheet or click the same buttons every week, a script can do it for you. We learn just enough Python to be autonomous, then spend the rest of the time on what automation really needs: files, formats, other programs, databases and the web.
Duration: 3 or 4 days · Level: beginner
For: people with little programming experience who want to automate tasks, or who have scripting needs (system administration, test benches, etc.).
Prerequisites: understanding what automation is about. Having written a few scripts is a plus.
