This is the sentence that started it all:
"I don't even feel like I've scratched the surface of what I can do with Python"
When I read this statement last year in an email from a newsletter member it somehow lodged itself in my brain.

I'd wasted hours on reading technical docs but they never contained the practical examples and clear use cases I craved.
Python is an amazing programming language (one of my coworkers used to call it "The Language of the Gods")
But itโs tough feeling confident using Python when it seems like you're forever stuck at a basic level of proficiency.
That's why, 11 months ago, I set out to write Python Tricks: A Buffet of Awesome Python Featuresโand now it's finally complete.
It's been a crazy and awesome couple of weeks to get this 300 page book ready for release. After almost a year of writing and editing, I still can't believe I finally got it published on Amazon.
I wrote this book for anyone who's going through the same struggles that I experienced with Python earlier on:
- If you're wondering which lesser known parts in Python you should know about, you'll get a roadmap with this book. Discover cool (yet practical!) Python tricks and blow your coworkers' minds in your next code review.
- If you've got experience with legacy versions of Python, the book will get you up to speed with modern patterns an
