Looking for advice on learning python for a limited aspect
Post Body

Hey Reddit

I work for a SaaS company in the implementation and services department. I serve as a consultant on functional aspects of the software. For the past 2 years I have been involved in most projects related to migrating data (usually pulled via API or read from CSV) into our platform. We have developers that write the scripts for this, but there is a lot of customer facing interaction and guiding them through configuration/cutover to our platform, etc. As we've grown it's become clear these projects are increasing in frequency, so my department has asked that I make an effort to fully own and help expand this program. Part of that plan would be moving some of the scripting workloads off of our devs. Primarily I would need to learn:

  1. Interacting with an API to read/write data
  2. Interacting with CSV to read/write data
  3. Manipulating data between platforms while it is in CSV

I picked up Automate the Boring Stuff and have started this (only a few chapters in) but was wondering if there are any good resources out there that are more dedicated to the above tasks? I have access to Lynda and Udemy, and I started looking on there too but figured I would ask here.

Thank you!
