Automation Blackbook: Personal Automation Engineering

⚙️ Personal Automation Engineering

Turn repetitive tasks into code-powered workflows that run by themselves.

Every developer has dozens of small tasks they perform every day:

• Opening sites
• Checking emails
• Fetching alerts
• Copying files
• Doing the same clicks, in the same sequence, every time

This course teaches you how to stop doing them manually — and start building automation systems that handle them for you.

Delivered as a cleanly designed, downloadable PDF, this course shows you how to automate:

• File systems
• Browsers
• Desktop interactions
• Email/SaaS tools
• Servers
• Cloud processes
• Daily routines

And then tie all of it together into a single “Morning Bot” automation suite, fully built and documented by you in the final project.

🧩 WHAT’S INSIDE

Module 1 — Task Automation Foundations

Learn what automation really is, where it’s safe, and how to build repeatable scripts.

• What automation is vs isn’t — boundaries & safety
• Scripting basics: Python, Bash, Node choices
• Event flows: triggers, conditions, outputs
• File, folder, and data manipulation essentials
• Building reusable functions & workflows

Module 2 — Web Interaction Automation

Automate browser-based work responsibly and efficiently.

• High-level browser automation (Selenium/Playwright)
• Form-filling and button-clicking responsibly
• Reading dynamic pages and structured data
• Session handling: cookies & state basics
• Polite request pacing and load awareness

Module 3 — GUI & Keyboard Macros

Control your desktop like a robot — safely and transparently.

• UI automation tools: PyAutoGUI / AutoHotkey basics
• Coordinate-free actions: relative regions & anchors
• Automating repetitive navigation tasks
• Safe macro design: abort keys, cooldowns
• Packaging macros as reusable scripts

Module 4 — Email, Slack, and Discord Automations

Build real messaging automations and alert-triggered workflows.

• Sending emails programmatically with APIs
• Slack bots: posting messages and reminders
• Discord bots: basic commands and automations
• Parsing incoming messages and reacting
• Notification pipelines: alerts → actions

Module 5 — 24/7 Cloud Scheduling

Deploy your automations to run without you.

• Cron jobs & scheduled triggers
• Cloud runners: GitHub Actions, Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda
• Environment handling: secrets, config files
• Logging & uptime monitoring
• Fail-safe retries & error alerts

Module 6 — Final Project: Automate Your Morning Routine

Bring everything together into one daily automation workflow.

• Outline tasks: news, weather, inbox, reminders
• Build each task as a micro-script
• Chain them with a scheduler
• Add notifications to phone/desktop
• Package and document your “Morning Bot”
