1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:01,001
- Spreadsheets are one

2
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:04,001
of the most common tools you'll find in businesses today.

3
00:00:04,001 --> 00:00:07,004
They're used for everything from monitoring project status,

4
00:00:07,004 --> 00:00:09,005
to reporting financial information,

5
00:00:09,005 --> 00:00:11,003
to tracking inventory levels.

6
00:00:11,003 --> 00:00:14,008
Using the power of Python, you can create spreadsheets,

7
00:00:14,008 --> 00:00:16,006
extract data, and automate

8
00:00:16,006 --> 00:00:19,003
just about any workflow that you can think of.

9
00:00:19,003 --> 00:00:21,005
In this course, we're going to use Python

10
00:00:21,005 --> 00:00:26,000
to perform all kinds of operations on Excel and CSV files.

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,009
By the time you finish this course, you'll be able

12
00:00:27,009 --> 00:00:31,001
to build all kinds of sophisticated automations

13
00:00:31,001 --> 00:00:32,009
for your data workflows.

14
00:00:32,009 --> 00:00:34,003
Hi, I'm Joe Marini.

15
00:00:34,003 --> 00:00:36,003
I've been building software professionally for some

16
00:00:36,003 --> 00:00:38,004
of the best known companies in Silicon Valley

17
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:39,009
for more than 30 years.

18
00:00:39,009 --> 00:00:42,004
Python makes almost everything it touches better,

19
00:00:42,004 --> 00:00:44,002
and spreadsheets are no exception.

20
00:00:44,002 --> 00:00:45,000
Let's get started.
