Key benefits

  • Gain a solid understanding of Python programming with coverage of data structures and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
  • Design graphical user interfaces for desktops with libraries such as Kivy and Tkinter
  • Write elegant, reusable, and efficient code

Description

Python is a cross-platform language used by organizations such as Google and NASA. It lets you work quickly and efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on your work rather than the language. Based on his personal experiences when learning to program, Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson provides a hands-on introduction to computer programming utilizing one of the most readable programming languages–Python. It aims to educate readers regarding software development as well as help experienced developers become familiar with the Python language, utilizing real-world lessons to help readers understand programming concepts quickly and easily. The book starts with the basics of programming, and describes Python syntax while developing the skills to make complete programs. In the first part of the book, readers will be going through all the concepts with short and easy-to-understand code samples that will prepare them for the comprehensive application built in parts 2 and 3. The second part of the book will explore topics such as application requirements, building the application, testing, and documentation. It is here that you will get a solid understanding of building an end-to-end application in Python. The next part will show you how to complete your applications by converting text-based simulation into an interactive, graphical user interface, using a desktop GUI framework. After reading the book, you will be confident in developing a complete application in Python, from program design to documentation to deployment.

Who is this book for?

Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson is for beginners or novice programmers who have no programming background and wish to take their first step in software development. This book will also be beneficial for intermediate programmers and will provide deeper insights into effective coding practices in Python.

What you will learn

The uniqueness of Cody Jackson's approach is his ability to demonstrate how programmers tackle real-world programming problems. Readers understand how a programmer thinks and uses the programming language as a problem-solving tool. After doing an exceptional job teaching the syntax and concepts of the Python programming language, he builds upon those principals to culminate in a final project that brings it all together! This is the first basic programming book that I have seen that tackles how to handle SQL queries and database administration. It is my new "go to" book when handling problems related to SQL databases in python! His handling of the power KIVY framework is also impressive. Well done!

As a First year student in cyber security, I got this book in hopes of getting ahead in class. This book has surpassed expectations in every way. Programming never came easy to me, but this book gave me every detail needed to learn this language on my own. His unique way of teaching made it not only easy but also enjoyable to learn the language of Python. I hope to use Cody Jacksons books for all other cyber inquiries I may have.

I came into Python only knowing a little and this book brings you along at a great pace. The hands-on, real-world lessons are amazing and giving you something tangible to grasp. This is just not an a book for academia. The short and easy-to-understand code samples are key to help you grasp what you are writing and how Python works. You are not just copying and pasting syntax; you learn "what" you are doing and "why." I have read through a few "beginner" Python books and this one is the best!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
