 <p>I've been conducting a few Python introduction workshops for college students and faculty for the past four years (which came to a premature end thanks to the pandemic). These students were already familiar with another programming languages such as <code>C</code>, <code>Java</code>, etc. I used to provide my notes in PDF format as a workshop reference material, further reading resources, etc. After I started writing a book titled <a href="https://learnbyexample.github.io/practice_python_projects/"><strong>Practice Python Projects</strong></a>, I realized I'd be better served by improving my Python knowledge first. What better way to do it than writing a book? And it did teach me a lot of things, some of the highlights being:</p>
