Synopsis
Get started in the world of software development: go from zero knowledge of programming, through variables, assignment operators, functions, string manipulation, data and networking, and finally into game programming. Along the way you'll learn about Python and its IDLE IDE, which you'll use to write and debug all your Python apps. In Learn to Program with Python author Irv Kalb uses his in-person teaching experience to guide you through learning the Python computer programming language. He uses a very conversational style to make you feel as though he is your personal tutor. All material is laid out in a thoughtful manner, each lesson building on the previous lesson. And, examples are provided along the way, including a game app example using the PyGame extension. What you'll learn Use fundamental concepts including variables, functions, if/else statements, loops, and lists Work with the IDLE IDE to write and debug your Python programs Build simple text-based programs Manipulate your data using Python's built-in features Harness the PyGame extension to write games Who this book is for This book assumes that you have absolutely no prior knowledge about programming.
