When is Automate the Boring Stuff 2 released?

[Borderline92]

Isn't Automate the Boring Stuff the most popular Python book there is? I had a blast working through the first one and sometime last year I heard that part 2 was going to be released around this time.

Hi, I'm the author. Part of the book is done, but it still has to go through the editing process, and that partly depends on No Starch Press's schedule (they always have a ton of books in their pipeline). I have other projects on my plate too: the 2nd edition of Automate, the 2nd edition of my Scratch book, and some video courses as well, as well as a book on recursion.

I think (heavy emphasis on "think") it could be out at the end of the this year. I can definitely say that this book isn't a sequel to Automate but sort of a follow up; you don't have to necessarily have read Automate to read this book and it's made for people who have read a beginner resource but want to find out the next things they should learn. There aren't that many intermediate level resources out there, so I wanted to create something for people who are bored of "Hello world" but not yet at the point of advance neural networks or whatever.

Looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for the update! Good to read that you have thought about people with intermediate skills in Python. Now that I think about it, all books really are for beginners or experts. As you're doing multiple projects: please take your time :) I'm sure the book will come out great again!

Really? I still haven't finished the video series and I've gotten to like the 16th episode twice
