I also plan to write about working with web APIs, such as Amazon's or
Google's APIs. There will probably be some kind of chapter about Selenium /
Web Driver too. I have some other ideas too.

That absolutely answers my questions. I'll keep an eye out for your book
when it is realeased. It seems like it will cover some topics that could be
useful in continuing my learning.

I am especially interested in encryption as that is something I have yet to
dive into.
