With a patient and experienced pedagogical style, and a combination of thorough language instruction and plenty of illustrative sample code, Python Crash Course is a terrific way to begin learning computer programming in general and the Python language in particular." Great book for absolute beginners. The author holds your hand and walks you through every step, so it is easy to understand and nearly impossible to get lost. I worked through the entire book and felt like I acquired a good foundation in Python programming. Eric Matthes's Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition takes a well-regarded text for getting started with Python and brings it up to date for 2023. The book not only covers Python's basics but lets you put them to use in a series of projects involving data analysis, web development, and gaming. Many books offer either Python basics or projects to learn from. This one delivers both." In the first half of the book, you'll learn about basic programming concepts, such as lists, dictionaries, classes, and loops, and practice writing clean and readable code with exercises for each topic. You'll also learn how to make your programs interactive and how to test your code safely before adding it to a project. In the second half of the book, you'll put your new knowledge into practice with three substantial projects: a Space Invaders-inspired arcade game, data visualizations with Python's super-handy libraries, and a simple web app you can deploy online.Appendix A includes updated supplementary installation and setup instructions, for readers who run into any issues installing Python.

Matplotlib has changed some of its default style settings; all figures in the new edition match the current default styles. Book Genre: Coding, Computers, Computer Science, Nonfiction, Programming, Reference, Science, Technical, Technology, Textbooks This chapter shows how to install third-party libraries, instead of introducing the topic in several different projects in the second half of the book.Build apps that allow users to create accounts and manage their own data, and deploy your apps online Am ajuns să înțeleg că python este un limbaj de programare destul de popular, căci poți găsi extrem de multe librării care te ajută să implementezi lucruri destul de complexe, precum un joc sau data vizualization, într-un mod destul de simplu și cu foarte puține linii de cod. De asemenea, am descoperit că deși are și suport pentru OOP, cu toate acestea, se simte în continuare aroma de limbaj de script. This chapter introduces removeprefix() and removesuffix(), two new methods that are helpful when working with files and URLs. The book makes the choice of editing scripts with a basic editor, although most beginners would rather use an IDE like Spyder or Visual Studio.
