Practical Python Projects book release
Hi everyone! I just released the Practical Python Projects book! (https://practicalpython.yasoob.me) I am happy to announce the first version as a release candidate. I have poured a lot of love into writing this book and would love to hear what you guys think. (A limited 100% off and discount coupons at the end) This is not a pure beginner book. The book does assume some background Python knowledge. You need to know the basics like methods, functions, classes, and such.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi everyone! I just released the Practical Python Projects book! (https://practicalpython.yasoob.me) I am happy to announce the first version as a release candidate. I have poured a lot of love into writing this book and would love to hear what you guys think. (A limited 100% off and discount coupons at the end) This is not a pure beginner book. The book does assume some background Python knowledge. You need to know the basics like methods, functions, classes, and such. If I use something that is not typically covered in beginner Python books, I will explain it before I use it. There are no tests for these projects as they are really small and teach you how to glue different pieces together. Some projects that we will be making - A Twilio bot that keeps you updated with the latest match scores from the FIFA World Cup - A Facebook Messenger bot the shares latest memes, jokes, and shower-thoughts scraped from Reddit - An automated invoice generator and deploying it using Flask - Making automated cinema-preshow by downloading and stitching together related movie trailers using moviepy - Generating automated article summaries and overlaying them on top of images - Understanding and decoding JPEG images using vanilla Python - Creating a GUI application using PyQt for downloading online videos - Implementing a TUI email client that allows reading emails in the terminal The first 50 people can use the "hn-love" coupon (without the quotation marks) to get 15% off. I am also offering a 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy if you don't enjoy this book and don't learn anything new. You can buy the book from https://practicalpython.yasoob.me You can get a free sample chapter from here: https://practicalpython.yasoob.me/sample/chapter2.pdf You can learn more about my writing style by reading any of my recent articles over at https://yasoob.me (For detailed FAQ, you can head over to the book website: https://practicalpython.yasoob.me)

Hi HN! This is my pet project, written from scratch because there is so much to discover and learn in the process. The focus is on simplicity and incremental updates. Progress is slow because I do not have much spare time to work on this, but I would love to hear some feedback. Regards

After a four year journey, the book I wrote to help junior and mid-level programmers earn their first promotion was published today . The book is titled Junior to Senior: Career Advice for the Ambitious Programmer and is now available on Holloway’s website[0]. I truly believe that soft-skills are what makes the difference between a good programmer and a great one. I also believe that anyone can learn the soft-skills needed to accelerate their programming career. I wish I’d had better resources to learn these things in the early years of my career and I’m hoping this book will become a useful…
