Python for Complete Beginners-Martin Jones(2017).pdf

This book is an introduction to the Python programming language for complete beginners – those who have never written a program before, or who are just getting started with programming. Learning your first programming language is tricky, because you have to simultaneously learn about basic programming concepts and about the specifics of the language. Fortunately, Python is an excellent choice as a first language, for reasons we'll discuss below. The goal of this book is to start with the absolute basics and get you to the point where you can confidently write your own programs from scratch. It will also give you the background to be able to seek out and understand more information on Python when you need it. This introductory chapter contains important background information to help you get the most out of the book, so read it carefully. If you already have a system for writing and running Python programs, then feel free to skip the Setting up your environment section.
