Get started in the world of software development: go from zero knowledge of
programming to comfortably writing small to medium-sized programs in Python.
Programming can be intimidating (especially when most books on software
require you to know and use obscure command line instructions) but it doesn't
have to be that way!
In _Learn to Program with Python_ , author **Irv Kalb** uses his in-person
teaching experience to guide you through learning the Python computer
programming language. He uses a conversational style to make you feel as
though he is your personal tutor. All material is laid out in a thoughtful
manner, each lesson building on previous ones. Many real-world analogies make
the material easy to relate to. A wide variety of well-documented examples are
provided. Along the way, you'll develop small programs on your own through a
series of coding challenges that reinforce the content of the chapters.
**What You Will Learn**
Learn fundamental programming concepts including: variables and assignment
statements, functions, conditionals, loops, lists, strings, file input and
output, Internet data, and data structures
Get comfortable with the free IDLE Interactive Development Environment (IDE),
which you will use to write and debug all your Python code - no need to use
the command line!
Build text-based programs, including a number of simple games
Learn how to re-use code by building your own modules
Use Python's built-in data structures and packages to represent and make use
of complex data from the Internet
**Who This Book Is For** **
** This book assumes that you have absolutely no prior knowledge about
programming. There is no need to learn or use any obscure Unix commands.
Students of any age who have had no exposure to programming and are interested
in learning to do software development in the Python language. The book can be
used as a text book associated with a high school or college introduction to
computer science course. Secondly, people who have had exposure to some
computer language other than Python, who would like to build good habits for
programming in Python.
