Learn to Program with Python

by Irv Kalb

Get started in the world of software go from zero knowledge of programming to comfortably writing small to medium-sized programs in Python. 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! In Learn to Program with Python , author Irv Kalb 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. Along the way, you’ll develop small programs on your own through a series of coding challenges that reinforce the content of the chapters.

If you have begun to learn programming and you have no idea where to start, which language to pick. Surely, you should read this book. This book is for a person who need to learn from scratch, with easy language, well-organized content. Make wise decision !

Really helpful intro. Not sure how much I could actually write at this point, but I feel like I stand better odds of reading it. I also think I'm better equipped to start looking at packages other people have created as I get started.
