Python powers everything from quick scripts to large-scale automation, but most learners never move past copying tutorials to building something that actually works. This Specialization takes you from Python fundamentals, including functions, data structures, conditionals, loops, and object-oriented programming, through choosing the right development environment in Jupyter Notebook or PyCharm, to building real automation scripts that read and organize files, scrape structured data with BeautifulSoup, control a browser with Selenium, and connect to live APIs. By the end, you'll write, debug, and deploy Python programs that turn repetitive manual work into scripts that run themselves.

Through hands-on projects, you'll build Python scripts that sort files and validate messy data, scrape a multi-page site with BeautifulSoup, automate form filling and waits with Selenium, and chain two APIs together so one feeds data to the next. Along the way, you'll build classes to model real-world objects and choose between Jupyter Notebook and PyCharm to run and debug each project.
