Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming (PDF) is a fast-paced, thorough introduction to Python that will have you solving problems, writing programs, and making things that work in no time.
In the first half of the PDF ebook, you?ll learn about basic programming concepts, such as lists, classes, dictionaries, 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 python code safely before adding it to a project. In the second half of the ebook, you?ll put your new knowledge into practice with 3 substantial projects: data visualizations with Python?s super-handy libraries, a Space Invaders?inspired arcade game, and a simple web app you can deploy online.
