Book Description

This book is a hands-on introduction to the Python programming language, written for people who have no experience with programming whatsoever. After all, everybody has to start somewhere.

If you've never used a programming language before, leaping into Python might seem a bit scary at first. You don't need to worry. Learning how to program a computer is far from impossible. Anyone can pick up the art of programming with a little time and a bit of patience.

It starts with a gentle introduction to programming. Slowly, through examples and exercises, we build a level of comfort by introducing more complicated program elements, and show where they can be used and how we can break them. By building up knowledge in this way, we hope to impart a level of comfort that will make you comfortable trying new things and taking risks; in short, we want you to be comfortable with programming.

• Learn Python the Right Way: Think like a Computer Scientist

  The goal of this book is to teach you to think like a computer scientist. This way of thinking combines some of the best features of mathematics, engineering, and natural science.

• Functional Programming in Python (David Mertz)

  It describes ways to avoid Python’s imperative-style flow control, the nuances of callable functions, how to work lazily with iterators, and the use of higher-order functions. He also lists several third-party Python libraries useful for functional programming.

• Python 3 Patterns, Recipes and Idioms (Bruce Eckel, et al)

  This book is aimed at more experienced Python programmers who are looking to deepen their understanding of the language and modern programming idioms. It focuses on some of the more advanced techniques used by libraries, frameworks, and applications.

• The Recursive Book of Recursion using Python (Al Sweigart)

  Recursion has an intimidating reputation. This book uses Python and JavaScript examples to teach the basics of recursion, exposing the ways that it's often poorly taught and clarifying the fundamental principles of all recursive algorithms.

• Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python: Writing Clean Code

  More than a mere collection of advanced syntax and masterful tips for writing clean code, advance your Python programming skills by using the command line and other professional tools like code formatters, type checkers, linters, and version control.

• Python Packages (Tomas Beuzen, et al.)

  An open source book that describes modern and efficient workflows for creating Python packages. Covering the entire Python packaging life cycle, this essential guide takes readers from package creation all the way to effective maintenance and updating.

• Deep Learning with Python, 2nd Edition (Francois Chollet)

  This book introduces the field of deep learning using Python and the powerful Keras library. It offers insights for both novice and experienced machine learning practitioners, and builds your understanding through intuitive explanations and practical examples.

• Architecture Patterns with Python (Harry Percival, et al.)

  Enabling Test-Driven Development, Domain-Driven Design, and Event-Driven Microservices, it introduces proven architectural design patterns to help Python developers manage application complexity, and get the most value out of their test suites.

• Clean Architectures in Python: Better Software Design

  The clean architecture is the opposite of spaghetti code, where everything is interlaced and there are no single elements that can be easily detached from the rest and replaced without the whole system collapsing.

• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (Albert Sweigart)

  Learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand - no prior programming experience required. You'll create Python programs that effortlessly perform useful and impressive feats of automation.

• Python for Everybody: Exploring Data in Python 3

  This book is designed to introduce students to programming and software development through the lens of exploring data. You can think of the Python programming language as your tool to solve data problems that are beyond the capability of a spreadsheet.

• Problem Solving with Algorithms/Data Structures using Python

  This is a textbook about computer science. It is also about Python. However, there is much more. The tools and techniques that you learn here will be applied over and over as you continue your study of computer science.

• Fundamentals of Python Programming (Richard L. Halterman)

  It focuses on introducing programming techniques and developing good habits. To that end, our approach avoids some of the more esoteric features of Python and concentrates on the programming basics that transfer directly to other imperative programming.

• O'Reilly® Think Python, 2nd Edition (Allen B. Downey)

  This hands-on guide takes you through the Python programming language a step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. 2nd edition updated for Python 3.

• The Big Book of Small Python Projects: 81 Easy Practice Programs

  This book demonstrates how to combine different libraries and frameworks to build amazing things. It picks up where the complete beginner books leave off, expanding on existing concepts and introducing new tools that you'll use every day.

• Practical Python Projects (Yasoob Khalid)

  This collection of 81 Python projects will have you making digital art, games, animations, counting programs, and more right away. Once you see how the code works, you’ll practice re-creating the programs and experiment by adding your own custom touches.
