This book eases you into the foundational aspects of Python 3.x with an extensive range of code samples that illustrate its diverse features. Start with Python tools and installations, and progressively learn intricacies like strings, loops, conditional logic, and much more. The appendices on NumPy and Pandas provide insights into efficient numerical operations, making it a holistic resource for novice programmers. Companion files with codesamples are available for downloading from the publisher.

Some programmers learn well from prose, others learn well from sample code (and lots of it), which means that there’s no single style that can be used for everyone. Moreover, some programmers want to run the code first, see what it does, and then return to the code to delve into the details (and others use the opposite approach). Consequently, the code samples contain a mixture of short code samples and slightly longer code samples, whereas lengthy code samples are more suitable when you have acquired an understanding of the rudimentary features of Python 3.x.

The target audience:
The book is intended to reach an international audience of readers with highly diverse backgrounds in various age groups. While many readers know how to read English, their native spoken language is not English (which could be their second, third, or even fourth language). Consequently, this book uses standard English rather than colloquial expressions that might be confusing to those readers. As you know, many people learn by different types of imitation, which includes reading, writing, or hearing new material. This book takes these points into consideration in order to provide a comfortable and meaningful learning experience for the intended readers.
