全球狂銷超過75萬本！ 搞定繁瑣又無聊的工作！ 不要將寶貴的時間浪費在那些連訓練有素的猴子都能完成的工作上！ 快跟著《Python 自動化的樂趣》一起搞定你手上重複瑣碎又單調無聊的工作。 就算是從未寫過任何一行程式碼的讀者，也能學會如何讓電腦幫你完成費時、繁瑣又無聊的苦差事。 如果您曾經花費數小時只為了將檔案重新命名，或是更新電子試算表中數百個儲存格內容，就知道這類工作任務是多麼瑣碎和單調，如果能讓電腦來協助我們完成這些工作該有多好？ 《Python 自動化的樂趣》第三版的內容經過全面修訂，目標是帶領讀者學會使用 Python 語言撰寫程式，讓程式在數分鐘內完成手動處理時需要數小時才能做完的工作，而且讀者無須擁有程式設計方面的經驗也能無痛學習。本書前幾章會透過淺顯易懂的說明方式和令人興味盎然的範例程式，先教讀者 Python 語言的基礎知識，逐步引導讀者寫出第一個 Python 程式，學會處理字串、字典（Dictionary）等其他資料結構，然後使用規則運算式來搜尋和操作文字模式。 掌握基礎知識後，本書會引導各位讀者實際解決專案，從中學習如何利用 Python 自動化來完成以下這些工作： * 自動搜尋網頁內容、下載檔案和填寫表單。 * 在各種檔案和電子試算表中查找、擷取和操作文字與資料。 * 自動複製、移動、重新命名或壓縮電腦中的檔案。 * 分割、合併和擷取 PDF 與 Word 文件中的文字內容。 * 自訂滑鼠和鍵盤巨集指令與應用程式互動。 * 管理電子郵件信箱的收件匣、自動取消列表中的訂閱項目以及發送電子郵件或簡訊通知。 本書第三版推出的新內容：除了全面改版的程式碼與範例，還有四個全新章節，主題包括資料庫整合、語音辨識、聲音與影像檔案編輯。增加16個全新的程式設計專案，涵蓋更多開發人員需要技巧，例如建立命令列程式。

「無論你想在程式設計面試中獲得優勢，想創造美麗的數學藝術，還是頑固地非得理解這個概念的有趣特性，這本書都將成為你深入遞迴這個兔子洞的指南（兔子洞裡還有兔子洞）。」遞迴程式設計技術可以產生優雅的程式解決方案，然而更常見的是，它讓程式設計師感到困惑。這並不代表程式設計師可以（或應該）忽略遞迴；儘管遞迴以具有挑戰性而聞名，但它是一個重要的電腦科學主題，並且可以對程式設計本身產生敏銳的洞察力。至少，了解遞迴可以幫助你順利通過程式設計工作面試。如果你是對電腦科學感興趣的學生，遞迴是你要理解許多流行演算法所必須克服的必要障礙。如果你是程式設計訓練營的畢業生或自學而成的程式設計師，並且順利跳過了更具理論性的電腦科學主題，但在「白板程式設計面試」中肯定還是會遇到遞迴問題。如果你是一位經驗豐富的軟體工程師，以前從未接觸過遞迴演算法，你可能會發現遞迴是你知識中一塊尷尬的缺口。❑ 本書目標讀者本書適合那些對遞迴演算法感到恐懼或感興趣的人。對於新手程式設計師或電腦科學系的大一新生來說，遞迴主題就像難以理解的黑魔法一樣。大多數遞迴課程都很難理解，使得這個主題不但讓人覺得挫敗，甚至令人心生恐懼。對於這些讀者來說，這本書的直接解釋和充足的例子應該能幫助他們最終理解這個主題。閱讀本書的唯一先決條件是具備 Python 或 JavaScript 程式語言的基本程式設計經驗，因為各章的程式碼範例使用了這兩種語言。本書的程式已被精簡到核心的基本結構； 如果你知道如何呼叫和建立函數，以及理解全域變數和局部變數之間的區別，那麼你就足以應付這些程式設計範例了。本書使用 Python 和 JavaScript 範例來教授遞迴的基礎知識，揭示了遞迴的教學方法，並闡明了所有遞迴演算法的基本原理。你將學習何時使用遞迴函數（最重要的是，何時不使用它們），如何實現工作面試中經常提到的經典遞迴演算法，以及遞迴技術如何幫助解決有關樹走訪、組合學等等許許多多的問題，以及其他棘手的話題。這個以專案為主的指南包含了完整的、可運行的程式，將能幫助你學習：☑︎ 遞迴函數如何使用呼叫堆疊，這是一種在遞迴課程中幾乎從未討論過的關鍵資料結構☑︎ 「頭尾」與「信仰飛躍」技巧如何簡化遞迴函數的編寫☑︎ 如何使用遞迴為你的檔案系統編寫自訂搜尋腳本、繪製碎形藝術、生成迷宮等☑︎ 優化和記憶如何使遞迴演算法更有效率
