Everything you need to know to get into Python coding, with 7 books in one.

Python All-in-One For Dummies is your one-stop source for answers to all your Python questions. From creating apps to building complex web sites to sorting big data, Python provides a way to get the work done. This book is great as a starting point for those new to coding, and it also makes a perfect reference for experienced coders looking for more than the basics. Apply your Python skills to data analysis, learn to write AI-assisted code using GitHub CoPilot, and discover many more exciting uses for this top programming language.

This book is a reference manual to guide you through the process of learning Python and how to use it in modern computer applications, such as data science, artificial intelligence, physical computing, and robotics. If you're looking to learn a little about a lot of exciting things, this is the book for you. It gives you an introduction to the topics that you'll need to explore more deeply.

Python All-in-One For Dummies, 3rd Edition guides you through the Python language and then takes you on a tour through some cool libraries and technologies (the Raspberry Pi, robotics, AI, data science, and more) that all revolve around the Python language. When you work on new projects and new technologies, Python is there with a diverse number of libraries just waiting for you to use.

This is a hands-on book, with examples and code throughout. You are expected to enter the code, run it, and then modify it to do what you want. You don’t just buy a robot; you build it so that you can understand all the pieces and make sense of the way Python works with the robot to control its motors and sensors. Artificial intelligence is complicated, but Python helps make a significant part of it accessible. Data science is complicated, but Python helps you do data science more easily. Robotics is complicated, but Python gives you the code that controls the robot. Python even enables you to tie these pieces together and use, say, AI in robotics.

In this book, we take you through the basics of the Python language in small, easy-to-understand steps. After we introduce you to the language, we step into the world of artificial intelligence, exploring programming in machine learning and neural networks using Python and TensorFlow and working on real problems and real software, not just toy applications.

After that, we’re off to the exciting world of big data and data science with Python. We look at big public datasets such as medical and environmental data.
Finally, you get to experience the magic of what we call physical computing. Using the inexpensive, small, and incredibly popular Raspberry Pi computer, we show you how to use Python to control motors and read sensors. This is a lead-up to the final minibook, “Building Robots,” where you build a robot and control it with Python and your own programs, even using artificial intelligence. This is not your mother’s RC car.

Python data science, robotics, AI, and fun all in the same book.
This book won’t make you understand everything about these fields, but it will give you a great introduction to the terminology and the power of Python in all these fields. Enjoy the book and go forth and learn more afterward.
