Practice Python Projects

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

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. Visithttps://youtu.be/5whwiiURWS8for a short video about the book.
