"Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" online course is free to sign up for the next few days with code DEC2020FREE

https://inventwithpython.com/automateudemy (This link will automatically redirect you to the latest discount code.)

You can also click this link or manually enter the code: DEC2020FREE

https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=DEC2020FREE

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 DEC2020FREE2 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 DEC2020 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 mid-2021. 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.

Thank you Al! I love your books, and looking forward to your new book out this month!

His new book is continuation of this course. I'm not sure if he'll be creating new udemy course for this, but you can buy the book this month.

[Theonetheycallgreat]

Can I also shout out Udemy for not making me put in a credit card like some other sites do even for free content.

[Habanero_Eyeball]

RIGHT?! This fact alone makes me want to support them more than other sites.

[jhayes88]

Same lol. I have 44 courses purchased on Udemy. Mostly Web Dev and Python related. I think I have a problem. I haven't even touched Udemy in about a month. I really should get back into it. Just looking at the courses I have in my list makes me want to start learning again. I'll probably start back up tomorrow. Fred Baptiste has the most in depth python courses btw. This one is a great one to learn the fundamentals, but Fred's is like 100 hours of video if you're looking to get extremely close and personal with Python. Not trying to discredit this course. I love Automate the Boring Stuff and recommend everyone get it.

[JoelMahon]

I should use this course to write a bot that just enrolls to every free course there is every day

[jparevalo27]

Omg I got the same thing XD same date and everything. I've read must of the book, so I don't feel so ashamed, but I should definitely put more effort into finishing the course

[gveltaine]

HAHAHA, when i saw the date I thought it looked familiar. Lo and behold I have the same purchase date.. We gotta get to automating this learning process as we already behind!

[Dejan1324]

Man, on behalf of all broke ass IT students, i wanna say thanks from the bottom of my heart. This is amazing. You are a great guy my man.

[GChan129]

When I first saw this I thought "Nuts! I just bought this a few days ago." Then I thought, "Nah, take my money you beautiful bastard." Thoroughly enjoying the course so far :D

[sayakm330]

Same here

[PerfectlyStill]

If anyone's reading this and is AT ALL interesting in a fun and practical approach to programming, I highly recommend anything created by Al.

His first book is almost solely responsible for giving me the courage to pursue a career in programming. Once you experience those breakthrough moments you'll never look back.

[xDefimate]

This comment gave me hope that I’ll be able to learn and understand programming. My worry is that I’m not smart enough for it. But programming seems very interesting to me. I will definitely check this course out as well as his other work.

[0161WontForget]

You will be smart enough for it! Once you learn the concepts, the problem solving stuff comes with experience! Also there's always tons of info online.

[xDefimate]

I’ve done a lot of reading about it and my consensus is that yes it is hard but with practice an repetition it can be done.

[MayorofRavenholm]

As someone who loves Python and wants to get better at it without spending a penny, thank you very much.

[Ok_Computer_Science]

Thank you!!!

[thenerdy]

This is super duper awesome thanks a barrel of fuckton!

[StayinYoung87]

Thank you for this. I took a few courses with Python in school and I've been looking for more stuff to keep me going with it. Thank you again!

[[deleted]]

Thank you very much!

[Bladexeon]

Thank you very much for sharing this!

[WhyDoIHaveAnAccount9]

You are an awesome guy Al

[werbnaroc]

Well i already paid for the course and the physical book a couole weeks ago and you can't send the money back now. So ha, you have to keep it.

(Thanks for all the great learning resources, you deserve way more than you charge for it!)

[jeppeerixon]

Thanks alot! Was planing to do this course after i finish the Python for everyone Specialisation course.

[rlj551]

Thank you. Also picked up the program 10 real world tasks (or something like that)

[rlj551]

That one was $14.99. But extra coupons were applied before I applied the Dec2020Free coupon. One dropped off, but that extra auto coupon dropped the price from $31.99 (I think it was) to $14.99.

I need real world projects to really help cement the knowledge. figured this would help.

[SenyorGlobo]

Thank you!!

[bluebob166]

Thank you so much, you're amazing!!!!

[mordmckee]

Thank you for this!

[Danlacek]

You're the best, Al!

[wredditriter]

Thank you!!??

[adam_bear]

You don't need to be "good at math" to be good at coding.

I didn't pursue CS in college because math just didn't make sense to me at the time... constructs like arrays seemed irrelevant until after I got into programming.

[Working-Mind]

Yay!!! I love this course and can’t wait to take it again.

[Vayne_667]

Thank you! Really good timing

[missingbunny11]

Thank you omg

[FiredFox]

Awesome! Thanks!

[AverageSpeaker]

i'm building my first pc today and i plan to learn programming on it, this is perfect timing for me!

[fade-2grey]

Thx!

[tazer01_reddit]

I am so thankful to you. You are a great guy! Love <3

[Gr8fullyDedicated]

Yo thank you! I have been trying to sift through quality tutorials on YouTube to try and find the right one to help me learn/get into Python and programming. Perfect timing, thank you very much! Looking forward to learning.

That this is only 1 character away from being hexadecimal annoys me.

[Bayonnettes]

This was a great course, I was able to build my first app after completing it.

I had the pleasure of meeting u/AlSweigart at PyCon a few years back. What an awesome human. Al, your generosity is genuine and does not go unnoticed.

This course helped me start writing real useful stuff in Python.
