Python Crash Course For Beginners A Crash Course Guide To Learn Python In 1 Week By Timothy C. Needham

In the first half of the book, you'll learn basic programming concepts, such as variables, lists, classes, and loops, and practice writing clean code with exercises for each topic. You'll also learn how to make your programs interactive and test your code safely before adding it to a project. In the second half, you'll put your new knowledge into practice with three substantial projects: a Space Invaders-inspired arcade game, a set of data visualizations with Python's handy libraries, and a simple web app you can deploy online.
As you work through the book, you'll learn how to:

* Use powerful Python libraries and tools, including Pygame, MatDescriptionlib, Descriptionly, and Django
* Make 2D games that respond to keypresses and mouse clicks, and that increase in difficulty
* Use data to generate interactive visualizations
* Create and customize web apps and deploy them safely online
* Deal with mistakes and errors so you can solve your own programming problems
If you've been thinking about digging into programming, Python Crash Course will get you writing real programs fast. Why wait any longer? Start your engines and code!
