Python is an interesting programming language with great capabilities. Thanks to it, you can easily solve the complex problems of this world. It also allows you to write legible and easy-to-maintain code. Mastering the syntax and basic programming concepts in Python is not difficult, but then comes the moment to try it out in real programming.

This book will teach you how to use this language to solve non-trivial problems that programmers must face. The book consists of fourteen fun and inspiring projects that will help you discover the nuances of programming and learn how to work with several Python libraries. More importantly, you will learn to analyze the problem, you will learn how to develop an algorithm to solve it, and then how to implement the solution. You will use Python to create music, simulate real-world phenomena, and also force you to collaborate with Arduino and Raspberry Pi tiles - all in the form of great, addictive fun!

Check how to use Python to:

• Generate spirographic designs
• Creating music on a computer
• Transfer images to ASCII art
• Creating realistic animations using the OpenGL library
• 3D visualization of data from CT and MRI medical imaging
• Build an online weather monitoring system using Raspberry Pi
