Beschreibungen

<div><p>Get started in the world of software development: go from zero knowledge of programming to comfortably writing small to medium-sized programs in Python. &nbsp;Programming can be intimidating (especially when most books on software require you to know and use obscure command line instructions) but it doesn’t have to be that way!</p><p>In <i>Learn to Program with Python</i>, author <b>Irv Kalb</b> uses his in-person teaching experience to guide you through learning the Python computer programming language. He uses a conversational style to make you feel as though he is your personal tutor. All material is laid out in a thoughtful manner, each lesson building on previous ones. Many real–world analogies make the material easy to relate to. A wide variety of well-documented examples are provided. &nbsp;Along the way, you’ll develop small programs on your own through a series of coding challenges that reinforce the content of the chapters.<br></p></div><div><br></div><div><div></div></div><b>What You Will Learn &nbsp;</b><div><div><ul><li>Learn fundamental programming concepts including: variables and assignment statements, functions, conditionals, loops, lists, strings, file input and output, Internet data, and data structures<br></li><li>Get comfortable with the free IDLE Interactive Development Environment (IDE), which you will use to write and debug all your Python code - no need to use the command line!<br></li><li>Build text-based programs, including a number of simple games<br></li><li>Learn how to re-use code by building your own modules<br></li><li>Use Python's built-in data structures and packages to represent and make use of complex data from the Internet<br></li></ul></div><div><div><br></div><div><b>Who This Book Is For</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><div>This book assumes that you have absolutely no prior knowledge about programming.&nbsp;There is no need to learn or use any obscure Unix commands.&nbsp;Students of any age who have had no exposure to programming and are interested in learning to do software development in the Python language. The book can be used as a text book associated with a high school or college introduction to computer science course. &nbsp;Secondly, people who have had exposure to some computer language other than Python, who would like to build good habits for programming in Python.</div></div></div></div>

<b>Irv Kalb</b> has a BS and MS in Computer Science. &nbsp;He has worked as a software developer, manager of software developers, manager of software development projects, and as a teacher of software for entire career. &nbsp;He has worked both as an employee for a number of technical companies and for many years as an independent consultant. &nbsp;He has been developing been writing technical articles and ebooks about software since 2000, and has been teaching software development in Silicon Valley colleges since 2010.
This unique tutorial takes you by the hand and teaching you programming in a well thought out, step-by-step approach Take advantage of the author’s experience in what is important, and what can be learned later Concepts build on each other throughout the book and a variety of sample programs are provided including a game example
<p>Python is one of the most widely used computer languages in the world.  It’s popularity is growing steadily every day.  There are many courses you can take to learn Python.  However, there is no book out there that has become the “Bible” for students who are completely new to the world of software development, to learn how to program in Python.  The author has searched without success for such a book.  The author has taken his personally developed, highly successful curriculum, which he has taught in a number of Silicon Valley colleges, and turned it into this book.</p>
