Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (2015)
I’m right there with ya calderarrow.  I’m a middle aged physician with no prior programming experience, but I picked this book up on a whim a few years ago and it changed my life.  I started automating little thing a here and there and now I see opportunities everywhere that a “real developer” could capitalize on.  For as expensive as EMR’s are, you will NEVER meet a doctor who loves theirs, they just hate some less than others.  Patient portals are even worse.  This industry is ripe for disruption.
