ORIGIN AND HISTORY

This course is based on real life, automation scripts actually running -on a daily basis- for the website / application they were designed and implemented for. They make it possible to reduce a work of 3, 4 hours of manual to less than 15 mns:
- Choosing articles, defining categories, setting target home page modules (sliders, blocks, featured)...: 10 mns
- Running multiple scripts: less than 5 mns on non-server machines

PURPOSE

The purpose is to give you:
- The understanding and analytic method for finding automation possibilities in any given complex system
- The principles for how to actually implement maximum automation to reduce manual tasks to the minimum, to what actually needs human intervention/choice and leave machine tasks to machine
- A practical, hands on approach on how to implement automation in real life, using python with a working, live automation system
- ... Starting with all the required ground courses on Python, CMses, BASH, Databases...

PRACTICAL GOALS

At the end of the training, you will be able to:
- Write Python code
- Design an Object Oriented architecture
- Use the terminal and write BASH commands
- Access, Read and Update MySql databases programmatically, locally and remotely
- Understand the principles of a CMS and use one (Joomla)
- Identify automation possibilities in complex website/applications/CMS processes
- Implement complete automation scripts/systems for complex website/applications/CMS processes

YOU ARE

A process or operation manager, a team/project lead, a Content Manager for a website or application, a Web designer/developer, a Programmer... or a person wanting to master website, applications and general processes automation.

YOUR PROJECT

If you have a specific automation project/ need, you can optionally purchase a 3 hours individual follow up...
