Presents a guide to coding, focusing on Scratch, Python, and web technologies.

A guide to learning computer programming using Python.

"In the twenty-first century, computer science affects nearly every industry and much of people's personal lives, as well. Smartphones have made apps a widely used tool in everyday life, and there are apps for almost every conceivable task. Behind those apps are skilled programmers who learned to code by experimenting with bite-sized programs. With this hands-on guidebook, readers will learn how to code using Python, a popular and highly functional programming language. Readers will code short programs that perform mathematical computations, compare data, store variables, and even produce simple games"--Provided by the publisher.

"Beginner coders often gravitate to the easy-to-use Python language for its versatility and usability. Games, robots, and Web sites--including those of Google and YouTube--and much more run on Python, and developers are constantly collaborating to improve the language and address problem areas. This volume introduces readers to Python, exploring its various applications and the history of its development. Side-by-side comparisons with other languages are also included to show the benefits of Python, while interviews with programmers highlight its many real-world applications"--Provided by the publisher.

In Coding with Python, you can talk with turtles, travel to South America, draw a flower, and create a caterpillar without paper, pencils, or paint.

Text and illustrations provide ten lessons that looks at the computer program language Python.

"Learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand--no prior programming experience required. Once you've mastered the basics of programming, you'll create Python programs that...perform useful...feats of automation"--Back cover.

Contains Python programming projects that help to expand existing concepts and introduce tools such as tkinter, pylint, python-docx, and more.
