Book
This book is oriented to programming beginners. Basic programming concepts such as expressions, variables, loops, decisions, lists, dictionaries, sets, functions, files, classes, objects, SQLite 3 databases, regular expressions and graphical interfaces with Tkinter are presented one by one with examples and exercises. The work aims to explore computer programming as an everyday tool. It can be read during an introduction to computer programming course and used as a study guide for self-learners. For full use of the content, only basic computer knowledge, such as typing texts, opening and saving files, is sufficient. All software used in the book can be downloaded for free and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Although Python (version +3.12) is a very powerful language full of modern programming features, this book focuses primarily on programming logic and teaching how to program. Some language features were not used to favor programming logic exercises and offer broader preparation for the reader for other languages. Powerful language features such as generators, sets, lambda functions and comprehensions are presented and the reader will find various notes and explanations of Python-specific features, in addition to programming logic.
