Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson: Grasp the basics of programming and Python syntax while building real-world applications

Description

Kick-start your development journey with this end-to-end guide that covers Python programming fundamentals along with application development Key Features Gain a solid understanding of Python programming with coverage of data structures and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Design graphical user interfaces for desktops with libraries such as Kivy and Tkinter Write elegant, reusable, and efficient code Book Description Python is a cross-platform language used by organizations such as Google and NASA. It lets you work quickly and efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on your work rather than the language. Based on his personal experiences when learning to program, Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson provides a hands-on introduction to computer programming utilizing one of the most readable programming languages-Python. It aims to educate readers regarding software development as well as help experienced developers become familiar with the Python language, utilizing real-world lessons to help readers understand programming concepts quickly and easily. The book starts with the basics of programming, and describes Python syntax while developing the skills to make complete programs. In the first part of the book, readers will be going through all the concepts with short and easy-to-understand code samples that will prepare them for the comprehensive application built in parts 2 and 3. The second part of the book will explore topics such as application requirements, building the application, testing, and documentation. It is here that you will get a solid understanding of building an end-to-end application in Python. The next part will show you how to complete your applications by converting text-based simulation into an interactive, graphical user interface, using a desktop GUI framework. After reading the book, you will be confident in developing a complete application in Python, from program design to documentation to deployment. What you will learn Use the interactive shell for prototyping and code execution, including variable assignment Deal with program errors by learning when to manually throw exceptions Employ exceptions for code management Enhance code by utilizing Python's built-in shortcuts to improve efficiency and make coding easier Interact with files and package Python data for network transfer or storage Understand how tests drive code writing, and vice versa Explore the different frameworks that are available for GUI development Who this book is for Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson is for beginners or novice programmers who have no programming background and wish to take their first step in software development. This book will also be beneficial for intermediate programmers and will provide deeper insights into effective coding practices in Python. Table of Contents The Fundamentals of Python Data Types and Modules Logic Control Functions and Object Oriented Programming Files and Databases Application Planning Writing the Imported Program Automated Software Testing Writing the Fueling Scenario Software Post-Production Graphical User Interface Planning Creating a Graphical User Interface Review: Unique teaching approach! - The uniqueness of Cody Jackson's approach is his ability to demonstrate how programmers tackle real-world programming problems. Readers understand how a programmer thinks and uses the programming language as a problem-solving tool. After doing an exceptional job teaching the syntax and concepts of the Python programming language, he builds upon those principals to culminate in a final project that brings it all together! This is the first basic programming book that I have seen that tackles how to handle SQL queries and database administration. It is my new "go to" book when handling problems related to SQL databases in python! His handling of the power KIVY framework is also impressive. Well done! Review: As a first year student, his book was very helpful - As a First year student in cyber security, I got this book in hopes of getting ahead in class. This book has surpassed expectations in every way. Programming never came easy to me, but this book gave me every detail needed to learn this language on my own. His unique way of teaching made it not only easy but also enjoyable to learn the language of Python. I hope to use Cody Jacksons books for all other cyber inquiries I may have.
