Python Beginner Project: Create a Simple Caesar Cipher Encryption App 🔐

In this video, we're going to learn Python by building a mini project that can encrypt and decrypt messages using the Caesar Cipher algorithm.

🔗 Code: https://github.com/pixegami/python-caesar-cipher

The Caesar Cipher is named after the Roman Emperor, Julius Ceasar, who encrypted handwritten messages by shifting each of the letters so that his enemies couldn't read them if they were intercepted.

This project itself is quite simple, but we'll get to apply a lot of different techniques, so it's perfect for beginners who want to learn Python.
