Do you like sending 200 emails, checking for appointments on a website every 15 minutes or copying a lot of files? No? Thought so! That’s why in this talk you will learn how to automate all of these tasks and more using the magical powers of Python.
Do you like sending 200 emails, checking for appointments on a website every 15 minutes or copying a lot of files? No? Thought so! That’s why in this talk you will learn how to automate all of these tasks and more using the magical powers of Python.
Any automation task can be broadly categorised into three stages - task specification, repetition and notification. We will walk through each of these stages with examples of pragmatic use-cases. On the way we will also discuss suitable Python tools to tackle the respective problems — from interacting with user-interfaces using Selenium, to creating cron jobs for scheduling tasks and finally sending notifications via bots to messaging apps.
This will give you all the tools you need to delegate repetitive work to machines, so that you can focus on achieving the Zen you always wanted in your life.
