Been on an automation drive during lockdown.

Highly recommend Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (https://amzn.to/3mVuKSx) if you are interested in automation + coding (from beginner level).

Have automated banking tasks and programmatically getting information from the internet (aka scrapping).

Amazing what you can do with python libraries - beautiful soup, selenium...

ATBS is also free to read online [0] and the author has _automated_ to provide free coupons [1] (applicable during first week of a month) for the online course on udemy

I'd also suggest realpython [2] for resources on web scraping
