Python Hunting: A beginner's guide to programming and game building in Python for teens, tweens and newbies.
Works beautifully with Linux, Mac or Windows. Will even work on a Raspberry Pi.
326 pages of spinning, shooting, catching, raining, eating, scoring, dying fun.
Python Hunting throws beginners straight into the cool, creative side of things.
When author Marley Adair first wanted to learn programming aged 8 he bought a few books on Python programming but they didn't teach the kind of programming he wanted to learn. He wanted to build games and animations, they taught him how to create print statements, calculators, data charts and a few rather dull text based games. So he taught himself how to build proper graphical games and then wrote the book he wished he could have bought. This is that book.
Marley is still a teenager but doesn't just write games now. He's fluent in several commonly used languages; he's written his own compilers, browsers, even his own languages. This is the book he wished he could have bought when he first began learning how to program. It's bang up to date and written by someone who's the same age as those he's writing for.
Working versions or screen shots of the games are on the website at www.python-hunting.com as well as contact details where you can ask questions or get help from the authors. We'd love to hear how you are getting on.

Should be a good book for a newbie to learn Computer Programming in Python. Most of the code works of entered in correctly. Focuses on the pygame module, which is another good reason for reading this book.
