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.
