Computer Science From Scratch

Test and sharpen your Python skills with seven guided projects that explore popular computer science challenges.

Computer science can feel unapproachable for those without a formal CS education. Computer Science from Scratch pulls back that curtain, illuminating several foundational CS concepts through creative, hands-on projects.

Each of the 7 projects is presented in a code-centric tutorial that gently introduces topics like interpreters, emulators, and machine learning without getting bogged down by complex theory. The projects showcase advanced Python language features and clean code principles while exploring interesting algorithms.

Chapters conclude with discussions of real-world applications of the topic and proposed exercises to extend the reader’s skills. Covers Python 3.x
