Rename Files In A Folder With Python Video

It's not so much the problem, it's how we go about solving it!

A blank page can be daunting if you're not used to coding.

How do you start? Where do you start? What's first?

Once you've done the basics, actually getting ideas and inspiration for projects can be tough.

In this video you'll see my process coding up a script from scratch using Python. Hopefully it gives you some ideas for where to take your own scripting!

Our challenge today is to rename multiple files in a given folder according to some logic that we choose.

ABOUT MY PYTHON VIDEOS

Python is just a tool (a very powerful and flexible one!) for solving problems. Like any tool, the more we practice solving problems, the more comfortable and skilled we become with the tool! But when we begin learning Python it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start. Getting a foothold and learning how to problem solve with Python needs time and practice.

That's where I hope these videos can help.

My Python videos will tackle real problems that we all might find in our day-to-day lives (whether at work or at home). From the simple to the more complicated, the idea is to build up a collection of starter projects and ideas that people new to the language can get value from. As I am an engineer, most of the content will have an engineering flavour!

Ideas, questions, and comments are very welcome.
