Programming isn't just about syntax and assembling code--it's about
problem solving, and all good programmers must think creatively to solve
problems. Like the best-selling Think Like a Programmer before it
(with over 75,000 copies sold worldwide), this Python-based edition will
help you transition from reading programs to writing them, in, Python.
(No prior programming experience required!)
Rather than simply point out solutions to problems, author V. Anton
Spraul will get you thinking by exposing you to techniques that will
teach you how to solve programming problems on your own. Each chapter
covers a single programming concept like data types, control flow, code
reuse, recursion, and classes, then a series of Python-based exercises
have you put your skills to the test.
You'll learn how to:
-Break big problems down into simple, manageable steps to build into
solutions
-Write custom functions to solve new problems
-Use a debugger to examine each line of your running program in order to
fully understand how it works
-Tackle problems strategically by turning each new concept into a
problem-solving tool
The Python edition of Think Like a Programmer aims squarely at the
beginning programmer, with additional chapters on early programming
topics such as variables, decisions, and looping.
Version: This book is based on Python 3.
