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. If I use something that is not typically covered in beginner Python books, I will explain it before I use it.…

In plain words

Practical Python Projects is a book for developers with intermediate Python knowledge covering real-world project development.

Projects include creating a Twilio bot for FIFA World Cup updates and a Facebook Messenger bot for sharing memes and jokes, with explanations provided for less common concepts.

From the sources

Learn how to create end-to-end projects/programs using Python. This book will help you level up and deploy working projects and learn new Python skills along the way.

The Practical Python Projects book demonstrates how to combine different libraries and frameworks to build amazing things. When learning to program, most books, websites, and tutorials focus on teaching the intricacies of the language. They do not teach how to create and implement end-to-end projects for things like aggregating movie trailers, tracking sports teams, getting information about video games, and other real-world topics. This often leaves a void in people's understanding of how to execute the very things that inspire them to get into coding. This book is my attempt to fix this problem. I will teach you everything you need to know to take your project from idea to execution and…from practicalpython.yasoob.me

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
