This book is a straightforward guide to the Python programming language
and programming techniques. It covers all of the practical programming
skills that may be required up to GCSE level and for those at AS Level
with limited exposure to Python. It is suitable for both experienced
programmers, students or individuals with very little or no programming
experience in other languages.
It teaches basic syntax and programming techniques, and introduces three
inbuilt Python modules:
- Tkinter, used for building a graphical user interface, which is an
option that some users may like to include in their project work.
- SQLite, which enables the creation and processing of a database
from within a Python program. This provides an alternative to writing
to a text file when data needs to be stored and retrieved.
- pdb, Python's debugging module, which can be used to help find
elusive logic errors.
