Python Programming for Absolute Beginners: A simple and practical guide for people with zero programming knowledge

So, you want to learn how to code and write programs? If you do, then maybe this book is just what you need. But why use Python? It's a rather strange sounding programming language and if you look at the blue and yellow icons used for this language, you would think that it is something funky.

But there are advantages inherent in the Python programming language that makes it a pretty good choice for absolute newbies to learn how to code. It also introduces the newcomer to a lot of programming concepts without the usual constraints of strict syntax and the other restrictive rules of other programming languages.

Python is no less than one of the most popular programming languages today. As far as other programming languages go, this one is classified as a high-level programming language.

The goal of this book is to teach you the fundamental principles of writing a computer program using Python. You will learn how to formulate logical instructions that a computer can follow. You will also learn how programs flow from one line to the next, and so on.

Along the way, you will learn the ins and outs of the Python programming language from how to download it for free all the way to running Python programs that provide solutions to a variety of potential real-life problems.
