A Not Too Short Introduction to Python (Dr. Robin's Python Lab, #1)

Whether you are a high school student curious about coding or an adult learning programming from scratch, A Not Too Short Introduction to Python is designed to take you from day one of coding to writing confident, readable Python programs. Written by Robin Wang (Dr Robin), a classroom teacher who has taught Python to real beginners year after year. This book doesn't just teach syntax. It teaches the thinking that makes code work. 

 

What you'll find inside:

  • Explanations that don't assume prior knowledge: Each concept is introduced in plain language, then reinforced with small examples and short challenges -- the way students actually learn.
  • Practical skills that build in the right order: Start with data types, functions and control structures, then move into the ideas that turn you from a code reader into a code writer: recursion, object-oriented programming (OOP), functional programming, and list comprehensions.
  • Turtle graphics that makes code visible: Turtle turns lines of Python into drawings on the screen, which is perfect for developing intuition, especially for younger learners. It is where running code turns into watching ideas come alive.
