00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:05,040
Hey there, welcome to day 32 of 100 Days of Code. Now,

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:05,670
today

3
00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:10,560
we're going to be learning about email SMTP and the date time module.

4
00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:15,930
Basically, we're going to learn how to send email using Python code.

5
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:20,430
And we're going to determine when we send the email using this daytime time

6
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:23,850
module. And once we've learned all of those skills,

7
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:29,150
we're going to be building a really interesting and possibly helpful tool where

8
00:00:29,850 --> 00:00:34,850
we can automate a happy birthday email to all of our friends and family.

9
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:41,870
So, I probably only remember a handful of people's emails off by heart and the

10
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:47,010
rest of the time, I rely pretty much on Facebook telling me that it's so,

11
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:51,600
and so's birthday. And I end up writing on their timeline.

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,490
But if Facebook didn't tell me, I would probably not remember.

13
00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:01,860
Now I know some friends of mine are really good at remembering everybody's

14
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:02,893
birthday,

15
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:06,860
even if they don't go on the Facebook and they'll send you a message every year

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,530
showing how good of a friend they are.

17
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:12,770
And it always makes me feel a little bit bad inside.

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,850
So what's our solution? To remember everybody's date of birth?

19
00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:20,750
No. We're going to build a Python program.

20
00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:26,360
And this Python program is going to be the automated birthday wisher.

21
00:01:27,110 --> 00:01:28,100
All we have to do it is

22
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:33,020
create a spreadsheet of all of our friend's birthdays and then create a bunch of

23
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:33,680
emails

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,240
and we'll randomly pick an email to send to each of these friends.

25
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:42,830
And this program is going to teach us some skills in Python

26
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:45,140
helping us level up as a programmer.

27
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:49,730
But it also makes us better people because our friends will feel like we

28
00:01:49,730 --> 00:01:54,410
remember their birthdays and help our friends feel more appreciated.

29
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,080
Email SMTP is a module that comes pre-bundled with Python

30
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,370
and it helps us send email using Python code.

31
00:02:05,210 --> 00:02:10,210
And daytime is another Python module that helps us figure out what today's date

32
00:02:10,820 --> 00:02:15,710
is or how to format a particular date and time. And in our case,

33
00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:20,330
it's going to help us figure out if today happens to be the day of one of our

34
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:23,900
friend's birthdays, in which case we'll send them a birthday email.

35
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,320
So that's the plan. Head over to the next lesson

36
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:30,650
and we'll get started by learning how to send email.
