A clear and student-friendly introduction to the fundamentals of PythonIn Starting Out with Python, 5th Edition, Tony Gaddis’ accessible coverage introduces students to the basics of programming in a high-level language. Python, an easy-to-learn and increasingly popular object-oriented language, allows readers to become comfortable with the fundamentals of programming without the troublesome syntax that can be challenging for novices. With the knowledge acquired using Python, students gain confidence in their skills and learn to recognize the logic behind developing high-quality programs. Starting Out with Python discusses control structures, functions, and lists before classes. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, focused explanations, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter.

My faculty used this as the textbook for the "Introduction to Programming" course. The flow of the book is good for a newcomer. It touches subjects such as GUI and OOP as well. Programming exercises and review questions helped me get the highest grades through my term. I am glad that this book helped me with my first ever programming experience, I learned not only Python, but also how to transfer my thought process to the machine. If you are a learner by reading, don't miss this one.
