Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson

Data Types and Modules

Because Python is built upon the C language, many aspects of Python will be familiar to users of C-like languages. However, Python makes life easier because it isn't as low-level as C. The high-level nature of Python means that many data primitives aren't required, as a number of complicated data structures are provided in the language by default.

In addition, Python includes features not often found in low-level languages, such as garbage collection and dynamic memory allocation. On the flip side, Python isn't known for its ability to interact with hardware or perform other low-level work. In other words, Python is great for writing applications but wouldn't be a good choice for writing a graphics card device driver.

Learning how to use built-in data structures helps your programming. Data structures are particular ways of organizing...

Key benefits

  • Gain a solid understanding of Python programming with coverage of data structures and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
  • Design graphical user interfaces for desktops with libraries such as Kivy and Tkinter
  • Write elegant, reusable, and efficient code

Description

Python is a cross-platform language used by organizations such as Google and NASA. It lets you work quickly and efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on your work rather than the language. Based on his personal experiences when learning to program, Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson provides a hands-on introduction to computer programming utilizing one of the most readable programming languages–Python. It aims to educate readers regarding software development as well as help experienced developers become familiar with the Python language, utilizing real-world lessons to help readers understand programming concepts quickly and easily. The book starts with the basics of programming, and describes Python syntax while developing the skills to make complete programs. In the first part of the book, readers will be going through all the concepts with short and easy-to-understand code samples that will prepare them for the comprehensive application built in parts 2 and 3. The second part of the book will explore topics such as application requirements, building the application, testing, and documentation. It is here that you will get a solid understanding of building an end-to-end application in Python. The next part will show you how to complete your applications by converting text-based simulation into an interactive, graphical user interface, using a desktop GUI framework. After reading the book, you will be confident in developing a complete application in Python, from program design to documentation to deployment.

Who is this book for?

Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson is for beginners or novice programmers who have no programming background and wish to take their first step in software development. This book will also be beneficial for intermediate programmers and will provide deeper insights into effective coding practices in Python.

What you will learn

  • Use the interactive shell for prototyping and code execution, including variable assignment

The uniqueness of Cody Jackson's approach is his ability to demonstrate how programmers tackle real-world programming problems. Readers understand how a programmer thinks and uses the programming language as a problem-solving tool. After doing an exceptional job teaching the syntax and concepts of the Python programming language, he builds upon those principals to culminate in a final project that brings it all together! This is the first basic programming book that I have seen that tackles how to handle SQL queries and database administration. It is my new "go to" book when handling problems related to SQL databases in python! His handling of the power KIVY framework is also impressive. Well done!

As a First year student in cyber security, I got this book in hopes of getting ahead in class. This book has surpassed expectations in every way. Programming never came easy to me, but this book gave me every detail needed to learn this language on my own. His unique way of teaching made it not only easy but also enjoyable to learn the language of Python. I hope to use Cody Jacksons books for all other cyber inquiries I may have.

I came into Python only knowing a little and this book brings you along at a great pace. The hands-on, real-world lessons are amazing and giving you something tangible to grasp. This is just not an a book for academia. The short and easy-to-understand code samples are key to help you grasp what you are writing and how Python works. You are not just copying and pasting syntax; you learn "what" you are doing and "why." I have read through a few "beginner" Python books and this one is the best!
