This textbook is aimed at readers who have little or no knowledge of computer programming but want to learn to program in Python. It starts from the very basics including how to install your Python environment, how to write a very simple program and run it, what a variable is, what an if statement is, how iteration works using for and while loops as well as important key concepts such as functions, classes and modules. Each subject area is prefaced with an introductory chapter, before continuing with how these ideas work in Python.
There is currently huge interest in the Python programming language. This is driven by several factors; its use in schools with the Raspberry Pi platform, its ability to be used for DevOps scripts, its use in Data Science and Machine Learning and of course the language itself. Plus of course it is free! So anyone anywhere can download and install Python and get started.
There are many books on Python; however, most assume previous programming experience or are focused on particular aspects of Python use such as Data Science or Machine Learning or have a scientific flavor. The aim of this book is to introduce Python to those with little or very little programming knowledge, but to take them through to become an experienced Python developer. As such the earlier parts of the book introduce fundamental concepts such as what a variable is and how a for loop works. In contrast the later chapters introduce advanced concepts such as Functional Programming, object orientation and exception handling.
In between a wide range of topics are introduced and discussed from a Python point of view including functions, recursion, operators, Python properties, modules and packages, protocols and monkey patching, etc. After the core elements of Python are established each new subject area is introduced by way of an introductory chapter presenting the topic in general, providing background on that subject, why it is of importance, etc. These introductions cover structure analysis, functional programming and object orientation.
