This book is an introduction to the basic concepts of programming with the Python language. Python is easy to learn, supports most programming models, and provides many capabilities for developers, which is why it is becoming increasingly popular. It allows readers to understand the basic programming concepts without the complex syntax that could hinder beginners and prepares them for transitioning to more complex languages. With the knowledge gained from using Python, students gain confidence in their programming abilities and learn to recognize the logic behind high-level program development.
The book analyzes control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers, before objects and classes. Each chapter examines one or more thematic units that provide a step-by-step analysis of a specific problem and show the student how to solve it. Like all books by the author, each chapter contains simple and understandable code sections, concise and realistic examples, explanations with emphasis on detail, as well as a plethora of exercises.
The book is ideal for an introductory programming course or a course on programming logic and design, using Python as the programming language.
