Review of book "Robotic Process Automation with Automation Anywhere", published by Packt Publishing in 2020.In general, the "Automation Anywhere" framework uses what are essentially pre-packaged code widgets which are grouped in assemblages called "bots". An author selects and positions desired widgets in a sequence, modifying portions of them as necessary, and saves them. Once saved, these bots can be rerun or modified as necessary to tweak their behavior. This book serves as an introduction to the framework and its capabilities.Chapters 1-4 deal with general background, overview, and installation.Fairly quick read, but important especially if you have no familiarity with the material. An important note: Creating these bots starts with the design process. In this tool, that translates to entering comments (defining tasks) into the bot code FIRST and then creating code to accomplish the task.In Chapter 5, the "First Bot" is built. Technically it's the second bot - the first being a Hello World type bot in Chapter 4 - but let's not quibble. Building this bot exercises some foundational functionality like file input / output, calculations, and looping. The steps provided are very exact and work perfectly, though it's important to keep an eye on details. (On at least one occasion, an edit appeared to have an unexpected side effect. This also could have been a miss on my part.)The previous bot creation process is expanded in Chapter 6, which walks the user through exercises designed to use variables in the available data types: String, Number, Boolean etc. Some of these types are roughly analogous to those in various programming languages and some are essentially specific to this framework.Chapter 7 provides a first look at interacting with a "live" application, capturing web output and simulating keystroke input. Chapters 8 and 9 introduce string manipulation, lists and more advanced program flow, while Chapter 10 returns to file processing in a more intriguing topic - XML parsing and updating.At this point, we are firmly into more advanced areas, and the subsequent chapters 11-15 deal with use cases similar to "real world" app usage and interaction: working with artifacts from Microsoft applications Word and Excel, email handling, PDF format, and rudimentary database access.The balance of the book deals with debugging and features for more complicated program flow, such as sub-tasks, usage of additional bots within a single project design, and leveraging scripts from external tools such as Python or Visual Basic.Overall, the book style is sufficient though a bit plain and formulaic - the various exercises read much like tech support work flow documentation. That makes them specific and clear, but repetitive. A good selection of the various code widgets are exercised but the reader will note that MANY more are not - there simply are too many to explore in any detail (dozens of basic types each with multiple options). Also, there is no discussion about using outputs from these bots in concert with other test or reporting frameworks, which some organizations might require.However, insofar as granting users some initial exposure and familiarity, this book accomplishes that goal successfully.*Disclaimer: Review of a complimentary copy of the book

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
