Synopsis

Python from Scratch is the perfect starting point for anyone new to programming who wants to learn independently. It's also an excellent textbook for introductory computer programming courses where students need to master both fundamental programming techniques and the Python language.

What You'll Learn:

This comprehensive guide covers all essential programming concepts with clear examples and practical exercises:

• Core Programming Fundamentals: expressions, variables, loops, conditional statements
• Data Structures: lists, dictionaries, sets
• Advanced Topics: functions, file handling, classes, objects
• Database Integration: SQL database programming with SQLite 3
• Text Processing: regular expressions
• GUI Development: graphical interfaces with tkinter

Why This Book Works:

Mathematical concepts are explained alongside programming knowledge, making exercises more accessible for beginners. While emphasizing clear, simple examples to build a solid foundation, the book also introduces advanced computing features for readers seeking additional challenges.

Although focused on Python 3.13 or higher, this book prioritizes teaching programming principles and logic, providing a broad foundation that serves readers regardless of their chosen language. Programming concepts are introduced gradually through simpler examples, with more sophisticated Python features demonstrated as you progress.

Additional Resources:
The accompanying website provides instructional videos, solved problems, and frequently asked questions. All software used in the book is available for free download.
