Learning a programming language requires understanding code and writing it effectively. This book offers quizzes to improve skills in reading and understanding code, while the exercises aim to improve writing code skills.
Each chapter starts with an explanation and code examples and is followed by exercises and quizzes, offering an opportunity for self-testing and understanding which level you achieved.
This book goes beyond the traditional approach by explaining Python syntaxes with real-world code examples. This approach makes learning exciting and ensures readers can apply their knowledge effectively. The included exercises and quizzes, along with their solutions, provide a guarantee to readers and empower them to create simple yet valuable programs.
Learning one computer language facilitates learning other computer languages. This principle arises from rules and logic that connect computer languages. A confirmation of this was when I was asked to teach the C# programming language at the University of Applied Science. Despite having no experience with C#, I dedicated a weekend to diving into the language and realized it wasn't fundamentally different from other object-oriented programming languages.
Python is also a language reliant on object-oriented programming principles. Our focus is real-world examples, enabling you to apply these concepts in your programming works. Learning programming is a communication tool with computers, as machines operate using their language defined by specific logical structures and sentences known as statements.
Before starting with the chapters, I present some illustrative code examples to provide an overview of the content of this book. The code at the beginning of this book gives you an idea about this book's approach.
Why Choose a Text-Based Application?
For beginners, it is crucial to start by learning coding in a text-based application. This approach allows you to focus on the fundamentals without
dealing with the complexities of a graphical user interface. After Learning coding with text-based applications, you can independently explore graphical interfaces through tutorials or any preferred learning method.
