Introduzione a Python

by Tony Gaddis

Python è un linguaggio di programmazione orientato agli oggetti, di grande versatilità e molto utilizzato per lo sviluppo di applicazioni in ambito professionale. È, inoltre, uno strumento valido e flessibile per apprendere i fondamenti della programmazione, grazie alla sintassi semplice, alla semantica sempre verificabile e alla scalabilità che rende agevole l'integrazione con altri linguaggi. Nel volume i concetti teorici vengono applicati e sviluppati in programmi completi al fine di verificare il loro supporto nella risoluzione di problemi. La trattazione è completata da numerosi esempi e schemi esplicativi ed evidenzia l'importanza di acquisire abitudini di buona scrittura e buona documentazione. Per la sua struttura si presta per un corso di Fondamenti di Informatica o di Programmazione in cui venga utilizzato Python. Il codice di registrazione presente sulla copertina del libro consente l'accesso per 18 mesi a MyLab, una piattaforma web-based che integra e monitora l'attività individuale di studio: risorse multimediali fruibili autonomamente o per assegnazione del docente, esercitazioni e test, registrazione puntuale dei risultati e della loro progressione, gruppi di studio e aule virtuali animate da strumenti per l'apprendimento collaborativo (chat, forum, wiki, blog).

I have read the third edition. The edition I read was amazing the only downside to this book is that it can be wordy and a little to obvious with some of your code. However, this book is amazing. I recommend buying the first edition as the cover is clearly bad ass. compared to the version I have which has three slices of stupid bananas. All of the books this author has written about any programming language has some sort of fruit. Don't google the author's name. you will see his extensive fruit-basket of novels and comical photos of sex offenders.

If you are serious about learning to program in python BUY this book. highlight it and code the examples and try the practice programs from each chapter.

I found it just great but just for start as the titles show,the thing that I liked this book very much is that u go very fast and it gives u exact information and also very intuitive examples to understand also how u can learn to talk with computer by python,so it is not just about learning a programming languages it is about also learning the philosophy of a computer program to show how it works.

While parts of this textbook ere useful to help me understand the principles of Python, I found it less useful in helping me understand some of the concepts of programming. Luckily my classes provided plenty of those but it made this book less helpful than I had hoped. Also, the examples and exercises are not really targeted at beginners, at least "this" beginner did not think so.

A very good introduction to the Python programming language. Although there are some small errors in the Python examples in the book, it is very informative and helpful. Definitely a good supplement to classroom instruction.

If one need to learn programming basics and Python simultaneously, "Starting Out with Python" book is a good start. It offers well structured introduction in the language as well as in some basic programming concept. For those, curious to see what Python is, it worth to glance on it.

This has been a great book to go with my coursework this semester. The various commands and structures of the Python language are explained well and there are some very good examples.

There are only two things I would have liked: Have the Mathlab and graphics modules instruction separate from the basics chapters, and include an answer key in the back for the multiple choice and T/F questions. I suppose some instructors use them for their classes, but we did not review the questions, but they work well to make sure you're getting the material.

Das Buch ist eher zufällig in meine Hände gefallen – ich habe es von meinem Patenonkel geerbt. Meine Tante gab es mir, weil sie dachte, es wäre ein Kochbuch. So bin ich überhaupt erst mit Programmieren in Berührung gekommen.

Dank dieses Buchs habe ich entdeckt, dass ich Programmieren nicht nur spannend finde, sondern auch wirklich verstehen und lernen kann. Das Buch erklärt alles Schritt für Schritt, sehr klar.

Ein absolut tolles Buch, bestens geeignet für Anfänger – ohne Vorkenntnisse verständlich und motivierend!

If you are brand new to Python, this text is excellent. The pace is just right, the instructions are clear, and the writing is good.

Suitable for primary school use, but condescending for adults.
