About

This book presents five beginner-to-intermediate level projects inspired by real world use cases:

• Enhance your CLI experience with a custom Python calculator
• Analyzing poll data from a Reddit comment thread
• Finding typos in plain text and Markdown files
• Creating a GUI for evaluating multiple choice questions
• Square Tic Tac Toe — creating a GUI game with AI logic

To test your understanding and to make it more interesting, you'll also be presented with exercises at the end of each project. Resources for further exploration are also mentioned throughout the book.

Prerequisites

You should be comfortable with Python syntax and familiar with beginner-to-intermediate level programming concepts. For example, you should know how to use data types like list, tuple, dict, set, etc. Features like exceptions, file processing, sorting, comprehensions, generator expressions, etc. Classes, string methods and regular expressions will also be used in this book.

You are also expected to get comfortable with reading manuals, searching online, visiting external links provided for further reading, tinkering with the illustrated examples, asking for help when you are stuck and so on. In other words, be proactive and curious instead of just consuming the content passively.

I would highly appreciate it if you'd let me know how you felt about this ebook. It could be anything from a simple thank you, Gumroad rating, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.
