Contents:
Our computerized world -- Why Python? -- Learn the rules -- Print and display -- Python environment -- Hello world! -- Hello person! -- Here comes the turtle -- Step at a time -- Some Python commands.
Summary: Usually we think of coding as something only trained experts and scientists can handle, but not any more thanks to programs like Python. First developed in 1991, Python uses lines of code, letters, and symbols, to create computer programs. Python is easier to read and takes fewer lines of code to accomplish tasks than some programming languages. Pythons creator, Guido van Rossum, wanted to create open-source software that used easy-to-understand coding text. His software allows even novice programmers to see results in a short amount of time. Vivid photographs, sidebars, and a graphic organizer help make this STEM-centric volume a dynamic learning experience.
