Simple Python
It is no longer necessary to know how to program to use a computer. However, being able to program opens up new possibilities. It is also fun! This book will teach you how to write your own programs using an easy to learn yet extremely versatile language called Python. The book assumes no prior knowledge of programming, so it is suitable for complete beginners. It explains how to write simple standalone procedural (or imperative) programs; for those wishing to develop their skills further, a companion volume builds upon the material here to explain how to write object-orientated programs and incorporate graphics. Once you learn Python, there will probably never be any need to learn any other language, but if you do decide to learn another language the principles taught here should make the learning curve much more manageable. Based upon the recognition that the best way to learn how to do something is by doing it, the book is generously supplemented by examples and exercises.
