Preface
This book is written to help you learn Python programming FAST and
learn it WELL. If you are an absolute beginner in Programming, you'll find
that this book explains complex concepts in an easy to understand
manner. Examples are carefully chosen to demonstrate each concept so
that you can gain a deeper understand of the language. If you are an
experienced coder, this book gives you a good base from which to
explore Python. The appendices at the end of the book will also provide
you with a convenient reference for some of the commonly used
functions in Python.
In addition, as Richard Branson puts it: "The best way of learning about
anything is by doing". At the end of the course, you'll be guided through a
project that gives you a chance to put what you've learned to use.
You can download the source code for the project and the appendices at
