Excel, Python and API: Data Automation and Management of Office, Home, Finances...

This book is not just an abstract documentation for learning Excel, Python, or API, and programming in it is portrayed not as a profession, but as a household skill, similar to the ability to use spreadsheets or the Internet.

The book explains how to combine code, spreadsheets, and neural networks in a way that enhances each other's work: generating hundreds of documents in a few minutes, creating automated reports, building a smart home without cloud services, analyzing personal expenses, monitoring investment prices, and much more.

Through specific examples, it will be shown which everyday tasks (such as creating similar reports, manual data search, endless reminders, etc.) make sense to automate and how to do it using familiar tools: Excel or Google Sheets, while complementing them with simple Python scripts and a little work with APIs.
The main feature of the book is its practical nature, so all the examples provided in the book are taken from real life – office work, household tasks, complex family processes, as well as hobbies and finances. The book does not contain generalized tasks – all of them are specific and can be taken from the book and adapted for oneself.

The book does not require special skills, is intended for a wide audience, and will be useful for office workers, accountants, programmers (both beginners and more experienced), as well as anyone who wants to make their computer work for them.
