-Python Crash Course Book Exercise and Projects Practice
+Python Crash Course Book Exercise and Projects Repository
+
+These may or may not be completely correct or the simplest way, but these are some of the exercises I practiced from the book **"Python Crash Course (3rd Edition)"** by [Eric Matthes](https://ehmatthes.github.io/pcc_3e/).
+
+I originally learned the basics of Python back in 2016 using the book "_Automate the Boring Stuff with Python_" by [Al Sweigart](https://automatetheboringstuff.com/). Over time my redimentary Python skills faded as I focused more on Powershell for Windows sysadmin stuff. Now that I'm beginning to move away from Windows environments and back into Linux, I wanted to brush up on my foundational Python skills again and relearn the basics.
