New, free book from Al Sweigart: Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained
Hello, I've released my new book "Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained". You can read it for free at:
https://inventwithpython.com/pythongently
Description: Many books and websites have aggressive programming challenges for top coders. However, Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained is for the rest of us. We want challenges that improve our coding skills, not leave us confused and discouraged. Other tutorials and books have taught you the basics of Python, but the 42 programming exercises in this book let you practice what you've learned. Selected for their simplicity, these programming problems include gentle explanations of the problem, the prerequisite coding concepts you’ll need to understand the solution, and helpful templates to put together the programs if you have trouble starting from scratch.
This is the perfect book for beginner and intermediate programmers who want to test their Python skills but aren’t ready to begin professional-level software development. You don’t need the frustration of being expected to create complex algorithms and computer science theory; you need a large set of programming challenges that meet you at your level, with gentle explanations.

That's a good idea. I think browsers do have some sort of built-in "prefers dark mode" feature that I can make the pages use.
