Description

If you want to learn how to program, working with Python is an excellent way to start. This hands-on guide takes you through the language one step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. Through exercises in each chapter, you’ll try out programming concepts as you learn them. Think Python is ideal for students at the high school or college level, as well as self-learners, home-schooled students, and professionals who need to learn programming basics. Start with the basics, including language syntax and semanticsGet a clear definition of each programming conceptLearn values, variables, statements, functions, and data structures in a logical progressionDiscover how to work with files and databasesUnderstand objects, methods, and object-oriented programmingUse debugging techniques to fix syntax, runtime, and semantic errorsExplore interface design, data structures, and GUI-based programs through case studies
