Description

Does this sound familiar?You get an email with ten Excel workbooks attached, and you're asked to combine all the data. You try to hide your eye-roll, but it's so epic it might be visible from space.You're told the files need to be stored in a weirdly specific folder structure—one folder per day of the year. Suddenly, your "Right-click → New Folder" fingers are screaming for mercy.You block out hours (or even days) to do these kinds of tasks, fuel up with Red Bull, and pray you don't lose your mind in the soul-crushing monotony.And worst of all.You want to work smarter, but you're not a techie. You don't want to build apps, launch websites, or become a software developer. You just want to get through your day with less frustration.If that's you, then this course is right up your alley!In this course, we're not just learning how to code like a developer.We're learning how to think like a problem solver.Using simple tools, basic logic, and a few lines of code, you'll learn how to:Automate file and folder creationExtract data from Excel, Word, and PDF filesTraverse your computer programmaticallyWrite small, powerful scripts that save you hours of manual workApply clean, universal coding principles to your workflowYou'll be amazed at how far you can go with basic English and math skills—and just a pinch of curiosity.By the end of this course:You'll have a ready-to-use development setup on your own PC or laptop.In just under 8 hours of content, you'll go from "total beginner" to "I just saved my entire team 6 hours of mindless labor."You'll build confidence using tools that real developers use, but without the overwhelming tech-speak or steep learning curve.And the cherry on top?For your final project, you'll build a script that takes 48 Excel workbooks (each with 20+ sheets), extracts over 7 million rows of data, and condenses it all into a single, clean workbook—in under 5 minutes.Yes, you read that right.From nightmare to "done and dusted" while you sip your coffee.Let's get started—and reclaim your time, your sanity, and maybe even your weekends. The dusty piano is waiting for some love again!
