Learn Python by Building 10 Real Projects (Edition1)

Madeline Foster is a software engineer and educator with more than a decade of experience teaching programming to learners at every stage of their journey. She first encountered Python as a college student trying to automate a tedious data entry task, and the language has been her constant companion ever since. What started as curiosity grew into a career spanning backend development, data analysis, automation, and full stack web applications.

Over the years she has worked with startups and established technology firms, helping teams ship reliable software in domains as varied as financial analytics, educational technology, and consumer mobile applications. Throughout her career, one consistent thread has been a love of teaching. She has mentored more than two thousand learners through workshops, bootcamps, and online courses, watching beginners go from typing their first print statement to landing roles as professional developers.

This book is a distillation of what she has learned, both as a practitioner and as a teacher. The project-based approach reflects her conviction that real understanding comes from building things, not from memorizing syntax. Every project in this book has been refined through years of classroom feedback, with the goal of making each step feel achievable and each completed project feel like a small triumph.

When she is not writing code or teaching, Madeline enjoys hiking, photography, and contributing to open source projects that bring programming education to underserved communities. She believes deeply that programming is a literacy of the modern world, and that anyone with patience and curiosity can become a confident developer. This book is her invitation to you to begin that journey.
