A clear, concise, step-by-step guide to learn Python programming
This approachable and handy-sized book has become a firm favourite with students looking to learn Python. It is a slim and un-daunting guide (just 120 pages) that is frequently recommended by teachers and schools delivering the GCSE or A Level Computer Science specification as well as hobbyists and those in industry looking to get a quick head start.
This hugely popular book is a straightforward guide to the Python programming language and programming techniques. It covers all of the practical skills that may be required up to GCSE level and for those at AS Level with limited exposure to Python. Simple language has been used throughout. It is suitable for both experienced programmers, students or individuals with very little or no programming experience in other languages.
It teaches basic syntax and programming techniques, and introduces three inbuilt Python modules:
- Tkinter, used for building a graphical user interface, which is an option that some users may like to include in their project work.
- SQLite, which enables the creation and processing of a database from within a Python program. This provides an alternative to writing to a text file when data needs to be stored and retrieved.
- pdb, Python s debugging module, which can be used to help find elusive logic errors.
Questions and exercises are included in every chapter. Answers to these as well as over 120 Python programs for all the examples and exercises given in the book are provided to all in a free downloadable pack from the PG Online website.
