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.
Lee Vaughan is a programmer, pop culture enthusiast, educator, and author of Impractical Python Projects
(No Starch Press). As a former executive-level scientist at ExxonMobil, he spent decades constructing and reviewing complex computer models, developed and tested software, and trained geoscientists and engineers.
