Hello World! Занимательное программирование

by Warren Sande, Carter Sande, Картер Сэнд

Привет! Любишь компьютерные игрушки? А хочешь попробовать написать что-нибудь сам? Представь, как зауважают тебя друзья, когда ты покажешь им игру своей собственной разработки, где при загрузке на экране появится твое имя! "Вот круто!" - будут говорить они, качая ее с твоей странички. И самая красивая девочка в классе, узнав об этом, наконец обратит на тебя внимание... Но для этого надо научиться программировать. Это сложно? Ну, на самом деле не очень. Главное - поставить себе цель и ломиться к ней напролом, как носорог через джунгли. Ты наверняка знаешь, что языков программирования существует немало, но мы предлагаем тебе научиться "писать код", как говорят профессионалы, на языке Python (Питон). Он относительно прост в изучении, но обладает всеми необходимыми функциями. Программы на нем получаются быстрыми и легко читаемыми.
Эту книгу по языку Python написали два человека. Взрослый дядька-программист и его сын. Этот сын тоже совсем недавно был подростком, знает как порой муторно бывает учиться, и поэтому он проследил, чтобы папа объяснялся не очень заумно. Так что если ты никогда не программировал, не беда. Если ты знаком с азами - e-mail, Интернет, mp3, можешь запустить или сохранить файл, - ты во всем разберешься. Удачи в освоении!

Thinking about reading this as a book to recommend for school

Currently reading as an aid to teaching Python to secondary students. So far so good - some good fun examples.

This is my first book into the Python world, which I think is the best introduction book to programming. Faced with kids, it forces anyone to use plain language to explain things very well.

[Lin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a very useful guide to Python, and to programming techniques and methods. It also came with an electronic version, which I found very useful to use as it meant I could zoom in on code listings and not worry about keeping a book open to the right page.
It does cover Python 2x versions, but mentions changes to come in Python 3x as well.

A terrific teaching tool for beginning programming using Python: free, cross platform. Easy to start, easy to read.

[Jodie · Rating 5 out of 5]

So far I think this is a pretty good book. It teaches basic programming in Python to all kids and any beginners.

You REALLY have to want to be a programmer to read this, but I'm glad I know it exists.

[Ann Marie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not quite relevant to where I am at but would gladly get this out again if I needed help in Python.

This book presents a very simple and understandable introduction to computer programing and learning code theory.

Good for those beginning to learn python!

Очень неплохая книга для совсем начинающих взрослых и детей

If you want to learn programming, this is the place to start. At least, that’s how I remember it. It teaches you not only language syntax as well as deeper reasoning about why stuff works. It teaches you debugging skills.
Buyer beware, “Python programming for the absolute beginner” is trash compared to this book.

Hello World! is an excellent place to start for complete programming beginners of any age. Many intro books assume a basic level of technical knowledge in the way they present material. This books assumes nothing which makes it a good starting point especially for anyone who has ever been frustrated by other beginner tutorials or books.

Additionally as a more experienced programmer, I still learned a lot about Python, a language I have never worked with before. Since everything is explained so clearly, it was easy to get enough knowledge about Python to feel like I could move on to working on my own Python projects.

Finally, I found that it was very easy to download the required supporting materials and get started. Plus the opportunity to actually write code starts almost immediately and occurs quite often as you work through the book.

I selected this book as the textbook to introduce my daughter to programming in an "Intro To Programming" class I am teaching her for home schooling. It's perfect for teaching the basics and assumes absolutely no previous understanding or knowledge of programming. Getting the tools installed on her Mac was a breeze and she really seems to be absorbing the material. It's still early in the semester, so I will come back to update this review, once we are through the semester. Not sure if we will make it through the entire book, but I've read the entire book and think it would be great for anyone learning the basics of programming.

Great book. Worked through it with my son so he'd understand enough Python for his school science project.
