Are you ready to jumpstart your programming career? This book will arm you with years of knowledge and experience that are condensed into an easy to follow format. Rather than taking months reading blogs and
websites and searching mailing lists and groups, this book will allow a programmer to quickly become knowledgeable and comfortable with Python.
Programming is fun and Python makes it delightful. Basic Python is not only easy, but approachable for all ages. I have taught elementary students, teenagers, “industry” professionals and “golden years” folks the Python programming language. If you are willing to read and type, you are about to begin an exciting path. Where it ultimately takes you depends on how hard you are willing to work.
This book covers:
- IDLE
- The REPL
- Basic Types
- Strings
- Unicode
- Exceptions
- Classes
- Functions
- and more...
I have taught these concepts at popular tutorials at PyCon and other conferences. This book is based on my experience teaching and using Python for many years. I hope you learn something while in the course of your reading. It will help you in your next task, code review, or job interview.
