Starting Out with Python® introduces programming concepts and problem-solving skills using Tony Gaddis' accessible approach. Written for novice programmers, Gaddis uses easy-to-understand language to introduce concepts. Control structures are explained, then classes and GUI applications. Every chapter includes clear and easy-to-read code listings, practical real-world examples, focused explanations and an abundance of exercises. As you progress through the text, you'll learn to recognize how to design the logic of high-quality programs and then implement those programs using Python.
The 6th Edition is thoroughly updated with new language features and functionality for versions of Python up through Python 3.9.
My faculty used this as the textbook for the "Introduction to Programming" course. The flow of the book is good for a newcomer. It touches subjects such as GUI and OOP as well. Programming exercises and review questions helped me get the highest grades through my term. I am glad that this book helped me with my first ever programming experience, I learned not only Python, but also how to transfer my thought process to the machine. If you are a learner by reading, don't miss this one.
