Pixelmator Pro on sale for $19.99, future update will apparently have a machine learning crop and this is how they describe that
What does ML Crop do? It analyzes the composition of photos using a machine learning algorithm and gives you a suggestion for how you could crop the photo to make it more eye-catching.
Humble Bundle has these books on Python Programming. I am interested in Automating Boring Stuff with Python. But I am not familiar with Python at all. Any experience on whether these books are easy for beginners?
I was working on learning Python as a Pandemic Project, and found that Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming was one of the most-frequently-recommended books for beginners.
I found it a good intro.
I can’t speak for the others, but I have heard that Automate the Boring Stuff with Python: Practical Programming for Total Beginners is a good book to read after the Crash Course. That being said, it claims to be “For Total Beginners” and if you have them both, you could certainly start there and see how it goes.
It seems that you can find most of these books on Amazon, which means you can read the reviews there as well. I think the Crash Course book alone is $24 on Amazon, so the bundle is a great price… plus they are DRM free, unlike the Kindle versions.
Personally, I’m going to grab this bundle ASAP and save it for when I have time to resume working on it.
Thanks. I am interested in learning programming for automation, so that is one motivation. This bundle seems to be an overkill for just these two books but it is still cheaper than buying them individually. Thanks for confirming!
Thanks for the awesome link. What I saw from the website is that they listed the same course in Udemy and the company I work for has signed up Udemy for all the employees. So, I get to learn this Automate stuff from Udemy! This worked up very well for me. Much appreciated !
iZotope does great stuff. I use RX (full version) intensively on the podcasts I produce and they have saved many crappy recordings produced by crappy mics and crappy rooms. Trash is also very fun to play with. All in all, it’s a great pack with awesome value for that price.
Be aware, though, that their stuff is still not M1-compatible yet, even through Rosetta. (I have to keep my Intel laptop around just for that.)
Funny that there’s a survey on Setapp pricing right now when I checked and asking if we are happy with what we are currently paying. They’re most like thinking of raising their current offering.
