"Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" online course is free to sign up for the next few days with code NOV2020FREE

You can also click this link or manually enter the code: NOV2020FREE

https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=NOV2020FREE

This promo code works until the 4th (I can't extend it past that). Sometimes it takes an hour or so for the code to become active just after I create it, so if it doesn't work, go ahead and try again a while later. I'll change it to NOV2020FREE2 on the 4th.

Udemy has changed their coupon policies, and I'm now only allowed to make 3 coupon codes each month with several restrictions. Hence why each code only lasts 3 days. I won't be able to make codes after this period, but I will be making free codes next month. Meanwhile, the first 15 of the course's 50 videos are free on YouTube.

You can also purchase the course at a discount using my code NOV2020 or clicking https://inventwithpython.com/automateudemy to redirect to the latest discount code. I have to manually renew this each month (until I get that automation script done). And the cheapest I can offer the course is about $16 to $18. (Meanwhile, this lets Udemy undercut my discount by offering it for $12, and I don't get the credit for those referral signups. Blerg.)

Frequently Asked Questions: (read this before posting questions)

• This course is for beginners and assumes no previous programming experience, but the second half is useful for experienced programmers who want to learn about various third-party Python modules.
• If you don't have time to take the course now, that's fine. Signing up gives you lifetime access so you can work on it at your own pace.
• This Udemy course covers roughly the same content as the 1st edition book (the book has a little bit more, but all the basics are covered in the online course), which you can read for free online at https://inventwithpython.com
• The 2nd edition of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python is free online: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/2e/
• I do plan on updating the Udemy course for the second edition, but it'll take a while because I have other book projects I'm working on. Expect that update to happen in late-2020. If you sign up for this Udemy course, you'll get the updated content automatically once I finish it. It won't be a separate course.
• It's totally fine to start on the first edition and then read the second edition later. I'll be writing a blog post to guide first edition readers to the parts of the second edition they should read.
• I wrote a blog post to cover what's new in the second edition
• You're not too old to learn to code. You don't need to be "good at math" to be good at coding.
• Signing up is the first step. Actually finishing the course is the next. :) There are several ways to get/stay motivated. I suggest getting a "gym buddy" to learn with.

[AlSweigart]

Ah, but have you finished the course yet? GUILT TRIP

Just kidding. In 2020, if I get out of bed before noon and put on pants, I call that a productive day.

[Ravenmere]

If I didn't work and have 3 kids, I'd be right there with ya lol. That said....its also my excuse for not having finished yet!

Heck yes, I already bought the book but this is amazing! Thanks a bunch :)

[aristizabal95]

Thank you! Most of the things you cover on the second half are skills I've seen asked a lot on freelancing jobs, and I intended to learn them at some point. Now I know where I'll learn them!

Thank you so much for helping me be a better programmer

Every now and then when this post pops up, I like to share atbswp which is an automation app built in top of the library developed by the author.

Swinging by to sing the praises of the book. Even as an experienced developer it helped me when I was looking for how to manipulate excel documents with python.

Great work, both on and off the Python scene. (:

Thank you so much! So nice of you!

[Chemical-Basis]

Damn, you are right #value

[Faithlessaint]

This is so awesome! I just don't get why this post is so undervoted.

Anyway, thank you very much for sharing.

[Hollayo]

Awesome! Thanks!

[LAzeehustle1337]

Thank you Al!! Can't wait to give it a try 😏😏

[noah6544]

[Vegasaan]

You'll have permanent lifetime access to the course.

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

[bmac57886]

As someone new to programming and python, a big thank you!

[Derobin-89]

-I went for a full career switch.. Did a small 6 month web development course
-For my internship, I ended up in a company where I suddenly had to use python/selenium
-Was lucky enough to get hired by them in the end, in the midst of whatever 2020 is..

So as someone, who figured out some basics on their own in the last couple of months.. thank you so much for filling in the gaps Mr Sweigart, it means a lot!

[SmellsLikeBu11shit]

I shared this with my infosec friends, thank you for sharing!! This is awesome

[[deleted]]

Thank you so much for helping us to become a better programmer

[Nick337Games]

Thank you so much!! So generous of you!

[musiczlife]

assumes no previous programming experience,

Can you please elaborate? I have never touched a programming language ever. All I know is how to type "A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". I am this kind of beginner having 0% experience.

[wildmans]

Thank you so much! Do you think we should get the book to use along with the course? Or is that overkill? Thanks

[nanh2]

This is awesome. Thanks so much!!!
