About this Book
Programmers love Python because it's fast and efficient. Shouldn't
learning Python be just the same? Hello! Python starts quickly and
simply, with a line of Python code. You'll learn the basics the right
way--by writing your own programs. Along the way, you'll get a gentle
introduction to more advanced concepts and new programming styles.>
No experience with Python needed. Exposure to another programming
language is helpful but not required.
Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and
Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.
