Python is one of today’s fastest-growing languages. Its simple syntax makes it relatively easy to learn, and its diverse uses…from web and game programming to data analysis and data mining to scientific computing, artificial intelligence, and more!...are fueling its popularity. So we’re finally answering the clamor for a Murach book on Python. We believe it provides the fastest and easiest yet most professional way to learn Python that you can find, whether you’re a beginning programmer or have years of experience.


What this book does:

To make this book as effective as possible, the content is divided into four sections:

✓ Section 1 presents an eight-chapter course in Python that gets you off to a great start. This section works for both beginners and experienced programmers because it lets you set your own pace. If you’re a beginner, you’ll move slowly and do all the exercises. If you have experience, you’ll move more quickly, skimming through material you already know to focus on skills that are new to you or that you’ve never mastered. At the end, you’ll have a strong set of the base skills that you’ll use in any Python program.
✓ Section 2 builds on the subset in section 1 to present the additional skills that every Python programmer should master. Here, then, you’ll learn more about working with numbers and strings than what was presented in section 1. And you’ll gain new skills for working with dates and times, dictionaries, recursion, and algorithms.
✓ Section 3 consists of three chapters that show how to design and develop object-oriented programs. OOP is critical in today’s world, and if you’re new to the concepts or you’ve always been somewhat mystified by them, Python’s syntax combined with our presentation will make it all clear.
✓ The focus of section 4 is to show you how all of the skills that you’ve learned in the first three sections are applied to real-world programs. First, chapter 17 shows you how to use Python for database programming, a must in businesses large and small. Then, chapter 18 shows you how to use Python to develop programs with graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Who this book is for:
This book is for anyone who wants to learn Python. If Python is your first programming language, it helps you master all the skills and concepts you need to program in any modern language, as you learn Python itself. If you’re an experienced programmer who wants to add Python to your resume, it will help you learn Python faster and better than you’ve ever learned a language before. And either way, once you’ve used it for self-training, it becomes your ideal on-the-job reference.
