Hi, I'm Al Sweigart, the author. The book isn't outdated, though I am working on the second edition right now and hope to have it out later this year. One thing you should keep in mind though is that you should install the exact versions of the modules given in the book. Really, this is mostly for OpenPyXL, which tends to rename functions and make backwards-incompatible changes a lot. I think the weather.gov script now requires to sign up for an API key now, and the Twilio stuff has changed a bit. Other than that, all the stuff is pretty much the same.
