Publisher's Synopsis
A simple, straightforward, and hands-on roadmap to the world of computer programming with Python
Teach Yourself VISUALLY: Python is your personal guide to getting you started in programming. As one of the world's most popular-and most accessible-coding languages, Python is your gateway into the wide and wonderful world of computer science. This hands-on guide walks you through Python step by clearly illustrated step, from writing your very first Python code in a terminal window or the VS Code app through to creating your own lists, dictionaries, and custom classes.
In the book, you'll learn to:
- Install Python and the tools you need to work with it on Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Work with files and folders, manipulate text, and create powerful functions that do exactly what you want
- Write clean code that makes decisions effectively, repeats actions as needed, and handles any errors that occur
A must-have resource for aspiring programmers starting from the very beginning, Teach Yourself VISUALLY: Python is also an indispensable handbook for programmers making a transition from another language.
