Saya tak pernah belajar pengaturcaraan sebelum ini, jadi agak risau pada mulanya. Tetapi kursus ini betul-betul mesra pemula dan setiap langkah diterangkan dengan jelas. Sekarang saya boleh tulis skrip untuk memproses berpuluh fail dan kemas kini spreadsheet secara automatik tanpa buat satu per satu. Bahagian gabungkan data dari banyak fail Excel ke dalam satu laporan paling banyak menjimatkan masa saya di pejabat. Kerja yang dulu ambil sejam kini siap dalam beberapa minit. Sangat berbaloi untuk sesiapa yang penat dengan tugas berulang.

Renaming and sorting hundreds of files used to eat up my afternoons, but the scripts from this course handle it in seconds now. The spreadsheet automation section alone was worth it, and everything was explained simply enough that I never felt lost despite being new to Python.

Pekerjaan saya tiap akhir bulan penuh dengan menggabungkan puluhan file Excel secara manual, dan itu melelahkan. Lewat kursus ini saya akhirnya bisa menulis skrip Python sederhana untuk membaca banyak file sekaligus dan merapikan spreadsheet otomatis. Penjelasannya ramah untuk pemula, jadi yang belum pernah ngoding pun tetap bisa ikut. Bagian pengolahan file massal benar-benar menghemat waktu saya. Sayangnya contoh untuk format file selain Excel agak sedikit, tapi secara keseluruhan sangat berguna dan saya rekomendasikan.
