Sehr praxisnah, ich automatisiere jetzt tatsächlich meine wöchentlichen Excel-Berichte, nur beim Web-Scraping-Teil hätte ich mir etwas mehr Tiefe gewünscht.

Llevaba meses copiando datos a mano entre hojas de Excel y este curso me enseñó a automatizarlo todo con Python en cuestión de días. La parte de web scraping fue especialmente reveladora, nunca pensé que fuera tan accesible para alguien sin experiencia en programación. Lo único es que algunos scripts de ejemplo podrían explicarse con un poco más de calma.

অফিসের রুটিন কাজ পাইথন দিয়ে অটোমেট করা শিখলাম, বিশেষ করে এক্সেল স্ক্রিপ্ট লেখার অংশটা খুব কাজের ছিল। ওয়েব স্ক্র্যাপিং অংশটা একটু বেশি টেকনিক্যাল লেগেছে আমার কাছে, আরেকটু ধীরে ব্যাখ্যা করলে ভালো হতো। তারপরও এখন আমি নিজের কাজের অনেকটা সময় বাঁচাতে পারছি।

পাইথন দিয়ে এক্সেল ফাইল হ্যান্ডল আর ওয়েব থেকে ডেটা টানা শিখে আমার রোজকার কাজ অনেক সহজ হয়ে গেছে।

Great practical intro to using Python for boring office tasks, just wish the scraping examples covered a couple more edge cases.

Solid course for automating repetitive Excel tasks, though the web scraping section moves a bit fast if you're new to Python.
