Description

If you want to learn how to program in Python but don't know how to do it, this book is for you.

The author of the book guides the reader through the Python world from scratch. You will learn how to use functions, what is recursion, what data structures look like and what object-oriented design is all about. In each chapter you will find practical exercises to use the concepts you learn and consolidate your knowledge.

Content of the book

  • presents the basics ofPython, including its syntax and semantics
  • describes the most important programming concepts and defines important concepts
  • shows how to use values, variables, instructions, functions and data structures
  • presents methods of working with files and databases
  • explains field programming issues
  • describes debugging techniques for removing syntactic, startup and semantic errors

Sample programsavailable on the Internet. Extract from a book to beread on-line.
