Next: OOP Fundamentals (Classes = Build reusable business systems!)

can we appreciate how your students just went from “manual PDF copy-paste” to full enterprise pipelines that extract invoices → fetch live API data → spit out executive Excel dashboards? While their classmates are still highlighting tables in Adobe, your class is calling Stripe APIs and formatting C-suite reports with ExcelWriter(). This isn’t format learning—it’s the $100K+ automation stack that eliminates entire data entry departments and lands them senior automation engineer roles before they graduate!
