Al Sweigert is the author of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python and many other books about programming. You can read them all for free here.

His scroll art project introduces beginners to programming by letting them turn loops and print() into animated ASCII art.

Shoutout to user Alex. S., who asked Stack Overflow’s most popular Python question ever: What does the "yield" keyword do in Python?. It’s helped 3.3 million people and counting.
