This workbook transforms Al Sweigart’s guide from a reading experience into a coding experience. Following Automate the Boring Stuff with Python chapter by chapter, this workbook will help turn concepts into muscle memory through carefully designed exercises, projects, and real Python scripts. Every concept is reinforced through carefully sequenced questions, exercises, and projects that help you think like a programmer and prove to yourself that you really get it.

At the end of each chapter, you’ll tackle miniprojects that bring everything together. Whether you’re renaming files, scraping websites, converting text to speech, modifying spreadsheets, or sending emails, you’ll build scripts that do real work. Fun projects like image generators and word games are in the mix too, not just boring stuff.
