Impractical Python Projects: Playful Programming Activities to Make You Smarter

I am huge fan of No Starch Press, and I think their books fulfill the slogan "The Finest in Geek Entertainment". Vaughan's book is exactly what I've been looking for. After teaching myself python using edX's MIT Python course, Princeton Univ's Introduction to Programming in Python by Sedgewick & Wayne, I still wonder what could I do with python? Sedgewick's book is more academic, but it is the best reference in python for me. Vaughan's Impractical Python Projects elevates your understanding of python into the level of real-world practice. His codes are fine, though I am only in Chapter 6, there has been no problem at all, I could also modify the codes to print them in the way I want. I am not a big fan of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 because Palingrams and Anagrams don't intrigue me very much. But, it's perfectly fine if you skip these two chapters and focus on decoding and encoding different ciphers in Chapter 4,5,6. The practices at the end of each chapter are very interesting, and equipped with solutions at the end of the book. But you have to do it in your own way. In the end, I find this book quite good for my use, and it's a straight 5 star. The design of the book's cover and content pages are also interesting. It's gonna fall apart when you bend the book too much, but it'll stick back together if you press them. So the overall book shape is well maintained after heavy use! Great design.

I found the projects a good illustration for how with a little bit of code and some knowledge of 3rd party packages you can make something in a few hours that does some really neat stuff. Most projects I really enjoyed, however if you're using Mojave OSX you may have a problem with keyboard input for the pygame chapters

Minha diversão diária. Livro muito bom. Não é por esse livro que irá aprende python. Aqui é o (vamos brincar, e ir alem ?)

It’s an interesting book and worth following the projects. My major is CS but it takes me some time to digest the contents. Some ideas weren’t immediately adopted by me, however when I read the second or third times I found it is natural and genius.
