Intro to Python for Computer Science and Data Science
For introductory-level Python programming and/or data-science courses. A groundbreaking, flexible approach to computer science and data science The Deitels’ Introduction to Python for Computer Science and Data Science: Learning to Program with AI, Big Data and the Cloud offers a unique approach to teaching introductory Python programming, appropriate for both computer-science and data-science audiences. Providing the most current coverage of topics and applications, the book is paired with extensive traditional supplements as well as Jupyter Notebooks supplements. Real-world datasets and artificial-intelligence technologies allow students to work on projects making a difference in business, industry, government and academia. Hundreds of examples, exercises, projects (EEPs), and implementation case studies give students an engaging, challenging and entertaining introduction to Python programming and hands-on data science. The book's modular architecture enables instructors to conveniently adapt the text to a wide range of computer-science and data-science courses offered to audiences drawn from many majors. Computer-science instructors can integrate as much or as little data-science and artificial-intelligence topics as they'd like, and data-science instructors can integrate as much or as little Python as they'd like. The book aligns with the latest ACM/IEEE CS-and-related computing curriculum initiatives and with the Data Science Undergraduate Curriculum Proposal sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Python Apprentice
Learn the Python skills and culture you need to become a productive member of any Python project.About This Book* Taking a practical approach to studying Python* A clear appreciation of the sequence-oriented parts of Python* Emphasis on the way in which Python code is structured* Learn how to produce bug-free code by using testing toolsWho This Book Is ForThe Python Apprentice is for anyone who wants to start building, creating and contributing towards a Python project. No previous knowledge of Python is required, although at least some familiarity with programming in another language is helpful.What You Will Learn* Learn the language of Python itself* Get a start on the Python standard library* Learn how to integrate 3rd party libraries* Develop libraries on your own* Become familiar with the basics of Python testingIn DetailExperienced programmers want to know how to enhance their craft and we want to help them start as apprentices with Python. We know that before mastering Python you need to learn the culture and the tools to become a productive member of any Python project. Our goal with this book is to give you a practical and thorough introduction to Python programming, providing you with the insight and technical craftsmanship you need to be a productive member of any Python project. Python is a big language, and it's not our intention with this book to cover everything there is to know. We just want to make sure that you, as the developer, know the tools, basic idioms and of course the ins and outs of the language, the standard library and other modules to be able to jump into most projects.Style and approachWe introduce topics gently and then revisit them on multiple occasions to add the depth required to support your progression as a Python developer. We've worked hard to structure the syllabus to avoid forward references. On only a few occasions do we require you to accept techniques on trust, before explaining them later; where we do, it's to deliberately establish good habits.

Modular Programming with Python
Introducing modular techniques for building sophisticated programs using PythonAbout This Book• The book would help you develop succinct, expressive programs using modular deign• The book would explain best practices and common idioms through carefully explained and structured examples• It will have broad appeal as far as target audience is concerned and there would be take away for all beginners to PythonWho This Book Is ForThis book is intended for beginner to intermediate level Python programmers who wish to learn how to use modules and packages within their programs. While readers must understand the basics of Python programming, no knowledge of modular programming techniques is required.What You Will Learn• Learn how to use modules and packages to organize your Python code• Understand how to use the import statement to load modules and packages into your program• Use common module patterns such as abstraction and encapsulation to write better programs• Discover how to create self-testing Python packages• Create reusable modules that other programmers can use• Learn how to use GitHub and the Python Package Index to share your code with other people• Make use of modules and packages that others have written• Use modular techniques to build robust systems that can handle complexity and changing requirements over timeIn DetailPython has evolved over the years and has become the primary choice of developers in various fields. The purpose of this book is to help readers develop readable, reliable, and maintainable programs in Python.Starting with an introduction to the concept of modules and packages, this book shows how you can use these building blocks to organize a complex program into logical parts and make sure those parts are working correctly together.Using clearly written, real-world examples, this book demonstrates how you can use modular techniques to build better programs. A number of common modular programming patterns are covered, including divide-and-conquer, abstraction, encapsulation, wrappers and extensibility. You will also learn how to test your modules and packages, how to prepare your code for sharing with other people, and how to publish your modules and packages on GitHub and the Python Package Index so that other people can use them. Finally, you will learn how to use modular design techniques to be a more effective programmer.Style and approachThis book will be simple and straightforward, focusing on imparting learning through a wide array of examples that the readers can put into use as they read through the book. They should not only be able to understand the way modules help in improving development, but they should also be able to improvise on their techniques of writing concise and effective code.

BiteSize Python for Intermediate Learners
This book is an introduction to Python for intermediate learners. It allows readers to take a slow and steady approach to building upon their understanding of Python code. While there are many books, websites, and online courses about the topic, Python programming is broken down here into easily digestible lessons of less than 5 minutes each, following a tried and tested BiteSize approach.Each lesson begins with a clear and concise introduction to the topic, giving the reader a strong base to start from and gets them ready for deeper learning. This is followed by coding demonstrations that further explore the ideas discussed. The book offers practice tasks in different difficulty levels, so readers can test their knowledge and grow their confidence. The reader will also play with case studies to solve real-world problems. Tips on how to incorporate Generative AI into a learning toolkit are provided, for purposes like feedback, practice exercises, code reviews, and exploring advanced topics. Recommended AI prompts can help readers identify areas for improvement, review key concepts, and track progress.This book is designed for intermediate learners with a basic understanding of Python. It is ideal for individuals with busy schedules or limited time for studying.
