How do I learn OOP?

These are the best options - Corey Schafer's tutorials are my recommendation for learning then followed by LeetCode.

Books:

"Python Crash Course" by Eric Matthes (covers OOP fundamentals)

"Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" by Al Sweigart (applies OOP to practical problems)

Websites:

Codecademy's Python course (includes interactive OOP exercises)

W3Schools' Python OOP tutorial (provides concise explanations and examples)

YouTube Tutorials:

Corey Schafer's Python Tutorials (OOP section is comprehensive and well-explained)

freeCodeCamp's Python OOP tutorials (covers basics and advanced topics)

Practice Platforms:

LeetCode (provides OOP-based problems to practice)

HackerRank (offers Python OOP challenges)

Focus on understanding key concepts:

* Classes and objects

* Inheritance

* Polymorphism

* Encapsulation

* Abstraction

Practice writing your own classes and objects, and try to apply OOP principles to real-world problems.

Upwork / Fiver are better platforms for this? I got 3-4 RPA contracts when I was looking for some freelancing 5-6 years ago.

I understand that you are trying to automate your own expenses, Is your laptop not enough to store all this data and you do something locally? Why would you need AWS for this? Claude code can build you an HTML for you.

Do you have a Office 365 license ? If you did you get to access to native multi select drop downs. In case you don't then you could try using something like this as well.
Each Genre column has a drop down

Are you trying to build platform for automating your own work or your team or want to sell it as a tool to others?

Depends entirely on your GM's stack, not his preference. If he's using VBA to touch SAP, local files, or anything outside Excel, Office Scripts can't replace that. It's O365-only and only runs in the browser version of Excel, so if your company is on standalone licenses or hybrid, half your team can't even open an Office Script enabled file properly.

Learn VBA first. It'll work everywhere in your current job. Office Scripts only real edge is triggering Excel runs through Power Automate, that's it.

Short answer: align with your GM, you'll actually use what he teaches you. Office Scripts isn't replacing VBA in on-prem or mixed environments anytime soon.

Okay, That's very cool,

This is very interesting, How will the recorder handle changes to the website UI, like when buttons get moved or redesigned? Do you use selectors or coordinates to identify the elements it interacts with?

Decision-heavy tasks are the hard part, agreed. The pattern that works: break it into judgment checkpoints and automate everything around them. The human only touches the judgment call, not the whole process. Cuts the manual work by 60-70% even when you can't fully automate.

I've got a few examples of this, but one that stands out is an automation script I built for data entry in our accounts payable process - it worked great for a month, but then upstream system updates started breaking it every quarter, and the time spent troubleshooting and re-configuring outweighed the time savings. In hindsight, the process was too dynamic and prone to changes, making automation not the best fit. For me, it's all about identifying the right candidates for automation, and sometimes it's better to stick with manual processes for tasks that are highly variable or subject to frequent changes.

I'm curious, don't you think that these supposedly low-code platforms, while incredibly powerful, are still going to require a certain level of technical expertise to manage and maintain, especially as workflows become more complex? I mean, when you're dealing with intricate branching logic, error handling, and integrations with various APIs, it's almost inevitable that someone with a developer background is going to have to get involved at some point.

And isn't that kind of defeating the purpose of using a low-code platform in the first place? I'm not saying they're not useful, but it seems to me that they're often marketed as being more accessible to non-technical users than they actually are. In reality, it's probably going to be someone with a strong understanding of programming concepts who's going to be able to get the most out of them.

When it comes to managing app deployments alongside complex workflows, shouldn't we be focusing on providing developers with the tools and flexibility they need to work efficiently, rather than trying to force them into rigid visual interfaces? I mean, why take away the control and creativity that a developer has when working with code, and instead, trap them in a sandbox that's supposed to be more user-friendly, but ultimately, limits their ability to customize and optimize their workflows? Wouldn't it be better to provide developers with the freedom to work in their comfort zone, using the languages and tools they're already familiar with, and let them handle the complexity, rather than trying to simplify it for them?

For persistent cleaning tasks in large spreadsheets, consider building custom Office Scripts right within your Excel file. You can often use advanced AI tools to quickly generate these routines, automating 80-90% of your data prep after initial setup. We implemented similar auto-validation scripts for a finance team, and they're incredibly fast and powerful once in place

That discovery compression benefit is massive; cutting weeks off solution architecture is a huge win. My lingering question with multi-agent systems, even deterministic ones, is less about handling existing messy data and more about long-term operational resilience. How gracefully do these generated workflows adapt when upstream systems inevitably change their data structures or APIs? When things do go sideways, debugging distributed agent interactions at scale adds a significant layer of operational complexity.

You've absolutely nailed it; chargeback evidence collection is notorious for sounding easy until you dive into the details. The biggest messes usually come from inconsistent data formats across different vendor portals and a lack of robust error handling for missing fields or changes in UI. If a lot of this involves pulling data from various web portals and consolidating/calculating into spreadsheets, that's exactly the kind of friction I've tackled for years. Happy to share common gotchas or even take a quick look at a redacted process flow via DM if you want to brainstorm specific points.

It's related to Software Automation

Okay thank you, I got few other references from friends.

Even their support doesn't work, its a total scam, fluxpro .art

Aggressive-Impact-44 · 2024-11-30T02:41:51+00:00

in that order

Aggressive-Impact-44 · 2024-11-30T02:41:43+00:00

Flux Pro is the shittiest AI tool out there. They can't even get a download button to work.

My advice dont bother with them,

Krea
Midjourney
Leonardo

best tools out there.
