Real-World Python by Lee Vaughan

Real World Python is a collection of worked projects for readers who know some basic Python and want to do something with their knowledge. The book's short projects all teach thought processes and problem-solving as well as coding syntax. Readers learn to think their way through challenges like predicting the location of sailors lost at sea, discovering new planets, determining the author of a novel, selecting candidate landing sites for a Mars rover, programming a robot sentry gun to detect and shoot aliens (not humans), and more.
"Python programmers with a little bit of experience, looking for a fun challenge that relates to real-world examples, should read [this book]"
—Geek Tech Stuff

"I recommend this book for all Python learners!"  
—Kelly Paredes, Teaching Python podcast

"This is the most amazing book anyone could pick up if they are unsure about what machine learning job they should focus on."
—Ian Mizer, Atlanta Python Programmers Group

"Read this book and do the work. You will find yourself building programs that address real-world problems and readying yourself to attack similarly challenging problems in whatever field you are working."
—Sandra Henry-Stocker, Linux journalist, NetworkWorld (IDG)
