Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart

I use this book in my Internet of Things (IoT) course to introduce and build python skills.  The 2nd edition was just released about a year ago now.  I like this book because it teaches the basic of programing logic in python in a straight forward and meaningful way.  I assign the chapters as homework to build python skills that we use in completing our IoT projects in class.  

Al has created a Udemy.com course that students can purchase on their own if they so desire.  Many of the chapters we use in class (10-ish) have videos that are free to view on YouTube.  The book has links to these videos and I link to them in the Assignments in my course for quick easy access to additional/alternative learning methodologies.

Here is the link to the online version of this book.

Here is a link to the Udemy course for this book.  (I tell my students to ONLY purchase when it is on sale between $10 and $15)  Sorry Al, Community College Students...

If you want to have a hard copy and help the author earn a living with the content he has created please purchase the cook using the Amazon Link to the left.  Note: I will earn a small commission as well, without increasing your cost.

Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet

This book was fascinating and I enjoyed learning about the physical nature of the Internet.  This was one of those books that had me constantly thinking to myself "My students should read this book."  In a nutshell this book explores the physical nature of what and how the Internet is made up of connections, wiring, buildings, etc.  as opposed to being magic or mystical or something that is simply there, no matter where there happens to be.
By clicking on this link and making a purchase I may earn a small commission.  Which does NOT cost you anything extra but helps me continue to spend time improving my website and providing resources and information to those that are interested.
