Morning everybody. How you doing today? I want to talk to you about on the show today and there’s a couple reasons earlier in the day of the week of autumn and you’re in a serious Operation Center. You can really have a huge boost to automate stuff images of the world.

We’re all moving forward in this is why I coding is such a basic and critical skill moving forward and I’ll give you a very personal example this week because I should get the opportunity to write two more weeks like that when I can sit behind a keyboard and get some coating.

One of the most terrifying times of years for me is right now because when I see a video I like I did the other day from I said hey 30 days to the calendar goes. All these different crazy things going on before the end of November at Wynn are the biggest conference in Cloud happens.

Obviously given my role in the vehicle research event for me. So there’s a lot of stuff going on and there’s a lot of content that I need to build out. There’s a lot of stuff that I’ll be doing a lot of videos on a social media at a lot of teaching them how to do on the Fly that there’s a lot of grunt work associated with that.

So I’ll give you an example related to this record this show because of the construction the neighborhood normally I stream it out live. And after that I end up with a video file make sense, right? I have a Facebook to Twitch into a periscope with the audience already getting on the number of users based on the live stream and then it sits on those networks for a little while as a result in krita podcast.

I also have a thumbnail image that I put a bunch of overlays on so the episode number Maurice’s Mark the link to you know, Mark N. C H & W M things like that the whole bunch of assets that need to be created after that initial live stream automated that a while ago.

Now, why do that one live stream comes the YouTube video I do the same for I create a custom thumbnail and then into the places where I have been tweaking the script out of the transcription in order to create a blog post from a automated that I wrote some code on turns out to be pretty basic code at to do all that for me buddies job.

There’s a lot of stuff that you do repetitively that you can probably automated some great places to start with that. Obviously. I’m a huge fan of everybody learning to code go to codecademy go to any number of online training courses. I’m circling has lots of great books on from O’Reilly in the Safari Library.

Got to get your kids coding get them early into it a great thing for 8 to 12 year olds right now check out from Kano the new Harry Potter wand they created a Bluetooth wand that you can program from your iPad or Android tablet to create spells on on great physical interaction to get people interested in coding in the field.

So many great resources how many great additions I am excited about that. But today it started by a visual of click together some tiles to automate a task on Windows. You can do some more things with Powershell. There are lots of great tools out there to automate some of these steps.

I’m start for combinations to fire off strips has a whole bunch of things that you can make your life easier. If you can take a breath for a minute and realize what if you do it more than once it’s probably work automatic. Pictures of automated anything before now for those of you in a cybersecurity roll? This is the number one skill you need moving forward is to be able to the world is getting more complicated and if you have that as a skill you’ll be able to stand out and then eventually just keep pace and then it just require for Rite.

Aid code would improve everybody workflow would make them more efficient more productive. And here’s the thing is I don’t like how you know, I repackaging videos and doing all the stuff that I could automated. It’s great. I literally one run run one command and I get everything I need as an outfit, right? So now I can make sure that this content gets posted across multiple.

Social media channels enemies archived is maximized is used to this. Extent possible with one script running and that’s made my life a lot easier. That’s really why. Automation coding is all about is about making life easier, and I can start with something as simple as you don’t need to write software for other people to use.

You can write these little scripts. You can write these little tools to help yourself going to tackle automation. How do you tackle Automation in cross your mind if your comments down below for the email me at Mark and then. Hope you’re set up for a fantastic day. I’ll talk to you online and I’ll see you on the show tomorrow.
