welcome
Thank you for your purchase of the MEAP for 12 Twisted Python Projects for Young Coders! For people who are new to Python, it's important to have fun while learning. I understand that, and that’s why I’ve combined Python with guizero, a simple program for creating apps, to bring you 12 twisted and entertaining projects. From a joke machine to a fart soundboard, a number guessing game, a prank quiz, a pixel painter, and more, each chapter covers everything you need to know to build these fun and unusual apps. And don’t worry, there’s even a sensible chapter where you’ll learn to build an app to check the security of passwords.
Throughout the book, I guide you through each stage of the code, explaining what it does and why we use it. Through a combination of diagrams, callouts, graphics, and code listings, you’ll learn essential Python and guizero programming skills. Plus, at the end of each chapter, you’ll find extra challenges to make your app even more twisted, with all the code included for you to experiment with.
With the skills you’ll learn, you’ll be able to create your own fun apps beyond the ones presented in the book. Thank you again for your interest and support. I’m excited to hear your feedback on the platform and look forward to helping you become a twisted Python programmer!
Please be sure to post any questions, comments, or suggestions you have in the liveBook discussion forum. I look forward responding to you on the platform.
