This book, which is designed for middle-school through college-aged students, will arm beginners with solid programming foundations they can carry throughout life. It uses fun and simple language (and programming examples) to teach the fundamentals needed to start the down path of becoming a programmer. Python is a highly flexible language, allowing developers to enter any number of technical fields and is a welcome addition to any resume. With its low learning curve, it makes a great introductory language, as new developers can take the coding fundamentals they learn in Python and apply them to any other language.
The second edition builds upon the foundation of the first book, revising all the chapters where the language has changed, updating the commands, code, and examples to bring it up to date with the current version of Python.
Since Python is the most popular programming language in the world and can be used in conjunction with other languages - across multiple platforms - it can increase the reader's ability to qualify for a wider range of jobs than other languages. Finally, Python is fun - something not every programming language can boast!
What You Will Learn:
Install and configure Python
Grasp basic software development principles and syntax
Understand the best practices for coding in Python
Create applications and debug code
Who This Book Is For:
The book’s target audience is primarily middle school to college aged students looking to learn how to program computers and develop software. Older individuals and computer programmers who know other languages and want to add Python to their repertoire can also benefit from the book.
This book is intended for teenagers looking to program in Python. While that technically means anyone aged 13 through 18, the truth of the matter is anyone of any age can (and should, if I do say so myself!) pick up this book if they want to learn either (a) how to program in Python, (b) how to program as a beginner, or (c) add Python to their current skill set.
Above all, if you are holding this book in your hand, intrepid adventurer, then this book is for you. The future is dependent on young heroes like yourself, eager to learn the art of coding and go out into the world and safeguard it from nefarious hackers, dubiously programmed applications, and the rise of artificially intelligent robots!
So, whether you are in sixth grade or in college, this book will grant you with superpowers galore. Sure, you won’t be able to see through walls or lift cars over your head once you finish this book. However, you will be able to speak the language of computers and create some pretty cool programs. And what could be better than that?
