Publisher's Summary

In The Ultimate Python Programming Guide for Beginners you will learn all the essential tools to become proficient in the python programming language. Learn how to install python in all major operating systems: Windows, Mac OS, and even Linux. You will be guided step by step from downloading the necessary files to making adjustments in the installation for your particular operating system. Learn the command line shell, and how to use it to run python in interactive and script modes.

Discover how the python interpreter functions, and learn how to use the interactive command line shell through practical examples you can try on your own. Learn datatypes and variables in depth, with example code and discussion of the generated output.

Numbers are covered in detail, including a discussion of the four number types in python: integer, float, complex, and boolean. Learn about Truthy and Falsy returns and how they relate to the boolean type. Practice with some of the many built-in python math functions, and discover the difference between format and round functions.

Strings are one of the most important variables in any programming language. Learn in-depth how to explore, search, and even manipulate strings in python. Practice with python’s built-in string methods.

Learn about python’s control structures and how to use boolean logic to achieve your software requirements.

• Deal with operators and develop an understanding of the strengths and differences of mathematical, relational, and logical operators, as well as the importance of operator precedence and associativity.
• Learn about strings and the many ways to search through and manipulate them.
• Discover the power of inheritence and polymorphism.
• Learn how to open, manipulate and read, and close files on your filesystem.
• Learn about the philosophy and importance of code reuse, and how modules in python makes this simple.
• Examine the difference between procedural and Object Oriented programming. Which is right for you may depend on what kind of code you are writing.
• Practice control structures in python.
• Study operators and learn about operator overloading.
• An in-depth discussion of python sequences: lists, sets, tuples, and dictionaries.

Learn the strengths and weaknesses of each. Practice creating and manipulating python sequences.

A great book on python

This book made it easy. Great narration and thorough information.
I was programming at a decent level in a few days. Highly recomended.

This is a perfect book for everyone!

I gave this book a shot. I must say that this is a great book that gives solid foundations on Python. At first, it teaches you the basics but also covers some useful details of the language. There are a lot of different things that you are going to be able to do when you decide to work with the python coding language. And this book is a great guide for beginners.

Best Python Programming Guide out there!

This is by far the best and easiest guide for python out there. I listen to the audio mostly and it's amazing. I have learned so much and now I am very proficient in python. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

No idea what I was doing, until now!

I'm so glad I was able to find this book in audio format! I don't have much time for paperback books, so this really allowed me to succeed in coding! Thanks for this, I recommend it highly!

This made is much easier

I struggle with writing code, this made it easier to understand and write code. Thank you for helping me put things together in my brain.

Very imformative and easy to follow

I have been trying to learn Python for a long time since I use it occasionally for work. I found this audio book to be very informative. It discusses the steps and highlights the appropriate syntax. It also shows you some best practices to make sure you avoid making syntax errors.

Exactly what I needed!

I have so much trouble with computers and coding but this book was exactly what I needed to help me out. It is super simple, descriptive, and easy to follow and it makes coding and Python seem like a breeze. Amazing!

Easy to master

I thoroughly enjoyed this book because I am wanting to learn to do computer programming. Don’t let the shows fool you, its not that easy, but with this book, it lifted a weight I didn’t know I had been feeling. This shows even the beginners how to start.

Very well done, exactly what I needed!

Clear, concise, well written and easy to understand. The perfect guide for python programming. Ideal as an audio book!

A new way to think about coding

This is something totally different from anything I have ever tried! I’ve been wanting to get into coding, and I thought it would be interesting to try the audio version of this book since I’m getting better at JavaScript and want to see what other languages are like.

This explains everything in-depth. If this is your first introduction to coding, you might struggle with it, because a lot of coding depends upon visual scanning of your code to ensure that everything is lined up and closed up.

However, if you are visually impaired, this is your place to start!! This audiobook functions as a way of listening to a detailed explanation of how to start coding in Python. It’s better than using a screen-reader, since a lot of coding sites use images to show lines of code. I’m a really visual person, but this is great for people who can remember everything they hear.
