Painless Python: Learn Python Programming Doing the Easy Stuff First

by Stephen Perry

Painless Learn Python Programming Doing the Easy Stuff First provides students with a fresh and practical approach to programming.
Have you ever read a programming book where half-way through a chapter you say, "Wait a minute! I'm not ready to learn that. I don't have any experience with this."
Many programming textbooks overwhelm the reader with complexity before they've had a chance to get a feel for the language.
Painless Python takes a different approach. It covers the same concepts and programming techniques as a typical Python book, but in an order that's much easier to digest and understand. Each chapter touches on multiple areas of programming, but with the easy stuff covered first. As the chapters progress, a bit more complexity is added to the multiple areas covered. By the end of the book, students are equipped with the knowledge they need to write complex Python programs.

From the author...
"I wrote Illumini after watching an amazing rebroadcast of the PBS Frontline show called Top Secret America. For an hour I was mesmerized by the astounding expansion of secret intelligence departments within the government in the decade after 9/11. What disturbed me most was the prolonged growth of these programs and the direction that the country was heading in. Illumini began as a story about where this would take us fifty years out. What kind of world we could be living in if the tremendous growth of secretive intelligence agencies and pernicious legislation continues unabated. It ends as a story about hope for the freedoms we cherish and so often take for granted. The story is both a warning and a reminder that every time we allow our fear to undermine our freedom we concede a part of our hope for the future."
