Simple Python
It is no longer necessary to know how to program to use a computer. However, being able to program opens up new possibilities. It is also fun! This book will teach you how to write your own programs using an easy to learn yet extremely versatile language called Python. The book assumes no prior knowledge of programming, so it is suitable for complete beginners. It explains how to write simple standalone procedural (or imperative) programs; for those wishing to develop their skills further, a companion volume builds upon the material here to explain how to write object-orientated programs and incorporate graphics. Once you learn Python, there will probably never be any need to learn any other language, but if you do decide to learn another language the principles taught here should make the learning curve much more manageable. Based upon the recognition that the best way to learn how to do something is by doing it, the book is generously supplemented by examples and exercises.

Learning Python: A Course in 16 Lessons for GCSE
This is an introductory text book that teaches Python programming. It is intended mainly for GCSE and IGCSE Computer Science students. It is a very practical book and assumes that the student knows little. The book starts by looking at the Python programming environment, then entering commands at the command prompt. Later on short programs,followed by longer programs. By the time the last chapter has been reached longer programs suitable for coursework are discussed. If used as a text book to learn programming, it is suggested that one lesson (chapter) from the book is studied each week. That way a student can learn Python in 4 months.

Conceptual Programming with Python
Thorsten and Isaac have written this book based on a programming course we teach for Master's Students at the School of Computer Science of the University of Nottingham. The book is intended for students with little or no background in programming coming from different backgrounds educationally as well as culturally. It is not mainly a Python course but we use Python as a vehicle to teach basic programming concepts. Hence, the words conceptual programming in the title. We cover basic concepts about data structures, imperative programming, recursion and backtracking, object-oriented programming, functional programming, game development and some basics of data science.

Metaprogramming with Python
A practical approach to metaprogramming with real-world examples that enables the development of advanced frameworks, libraries, and applications using PythonKey FeaturesLearn applied metaprogramming through a simple step-by-step approachWork with easily understandable examples and explanations that take you deep into the theory of metaprogrammingGet practical experience in writing reusable code with real-world examplesBook DescriptionEffective and reusable code makes your application development process seamless and easily maintainable. With Python, you will have access to advanced metaprogramming features that you can use to build high-performing applications. The book starts by introducing you to the need and applications of metaprogramming, before navigating the fundamentals of object-oriented programming. Next, you will learn about simple decorators, work with metaclasses, and later focus on introspection and reflection. You'll also delve into generics and typing before defining templates for algorithms. As you progress, you will understand your code using abstract syntax trees and explore method resolution order. This Python book also shows you how to create your own dynamic objects before structuring the objects through design patterns. Finally, you will learn simple code-generation techniques along with discovering best practices and eventually building your own applications. By the end of this learning journey, you'll have acquired the skills and confidence you need to design and build reusable high-performing applications that can solve real-world problems.What you will learnUnderstand the programming paradigm of metaprogramming and its needRevisit the fundamentals of object-oriented programmingDefine decorators and work with metaclassesEmploy introspection and reflection on your codeApply generics, typing, and templates to enhance your codeGet to grips with the structure of your code through abstract syntax trees and the behavior through method resolution orderCreate dynamic objects and generate dynamic codeUnderstand various design patterns and best practicesWho this book is forIf you are an intermediate-level Python programmer looking to enhance your coding skills by developing reusable and advanced frameworks, then this book is for you. Basic knowledge of Python programming will help you get the most out of this learning journey.

Introduction to Programming Using Processing
Written in an informal, conversational, and humorous style, Introduction to Programming Using Processing makes learning programming a fun experience. It is almost certainly the only programming textbook in the world with references to Jurassic Park, NCIS, Chuck Norris, and Gamera! The freely-available Processing language is ideal for a first course in programming. The simple-to-access graphics and multimedia capabilities of the language let students develop eye-catching, animated programs, instead of traditional programs that print text to the console. Introduction to Programming Using Processing takes a "classes-later" approach, focusing on basics, using objects, selection, iteration, top-down design, and arrays, before writing classes. Every example is presented in the context of the RADIS (Requirements / Analyze / Design / Implement / Support) framework, with considerable attention paid to design. Other positive habits, like good commenting practice and coding style, are emphasized as well.
