The book covers the concepts of Python programming language along with mobile application development. Starting from fundamentals, the book continues with the explanation of mobile app development using Kivy framework. All the chapters offer questions and exercises for to better understanding of the subject. This second revised and updated edition covers the most recent developments in Kivy since the publishing of the first edition. Python is a very popular and widely used general-purpose, interpreted, and object-oriented programming (OOP) language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems. It has efficient high-level data structures and a dynamic-type system, and its memory management is done automatically with multiple programming paradigms such as imperative, functional, and procedural. Programs can be created to automate various tasks. Nowadays, all major IT companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple, are using Python as the primary programming language. Python is the most accessible programming language to be learned quickly in a short period. It can develop any application such as Desktop, Web application,, and utility tools, with the help of a wide range of frameworks and libraries available with minimum coding. It is free and open source available with proper documentation over the Internet. Python focuses on business logic instead of the basic facts of programming. Python is available in two versions, 2.x and 3.x, but primarily, we will focus on 3.11 and the upcoming Python 3.11.x. Python 3.11.0 will be full of new features. Python 3.11.0 was released in October 2022, along with some major features because Python is now focusing on performance-related issues. Python is dynamically typed, has automatic garbage collection, and manages memory with multiple programming paradigms such as procedural, OOP, and functional. Python is an agile language that allows us to do so many customized things within a short span of time.

We can start the application development from any point of module and, in the ending phase of application development, can join each other just before releasing. Python is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C and C++ with the help of callable. Python programming language provides you freedom to develop a cross-platform application that will be capable to run at all available platforms such as Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. A developer can build and distribute beautiful Python cross-platform GUI apps with ease. It provides a single code base for all operating systems, so that the developer needs no effort for any other platform. The Kivy is released under the MIT License and is 100% free to use and is professionally developed, backed, and maintained. Kivy is an open-source software library for rapid development of applications equipped with novel user interfaces, such as multitouch apps.
