Ready to learn Python programming? This is the place to start!

Python is one of the top programming languages worldwide, a favourite of Google, YouTube, the BBC, and Spotify, as well as the primary programming language for the Raspberry Pi. Learning Python is a great way to get into programming, and this book makes it easy and fun.

No programming experience? No problem! Adventures in Python walks you through ten projects that explain the fundamentals of programming in general, and Python in particular, with clear, simple instructions. As you master the basics, new skills are introduced. Video clips with each chapter provide more information about important concepts. Before you know it, you'll have the confidence to tackle your own projects. Some of the things you'll learn are:

  • Navigate basic computer programming concepts
  • Learn the fundamentals of Python through fun and engaging examples
  • Understand the Python programming language so that you can make your own ideas come to life
  • Create your own images, animations, and GUIs with the power of programming
  • Create a fun two-player game to play with your friends

To make your Python adventure even easier, the companion website at www.wiley.com/go/adventuresinpython includes helpful videos for each chapter and other useful information. Once you know how to use Python, you'll also have a head start on learning other programming languages, such as C++, Objective-C, and Java. Let's get started!
