Python Practice Lab
A guide to learning basic programming by writing fun, working programs that gradually become more complexThis classroom-tested, workbook-style text teaches basic programming by guiding readers to write Python programs that mimic interactive chatbots. Unlike textbooks with opaque examples explained in dry, monotonous code, Python Practice Lab engages readers immediately, with more than thirty motivating and hands-on examples. Readers learn by writing fun, working programs that gradually become more difficult as new concepts are introduced. Most exercises are open ended, promoting creativity in the process of learning. Along with coding practice, the book offers brief introductions to a range of other topics in computer science, including recommendation systems, computer vision, and big data, and relates these subjects to the programming concepts covered in the book. Python Practice Lab will be an essential resource for anyone who wants to learn to program, instructors teaching Python to beginners, and students who want to supplement their coursework by building complete and functional programs.Uses natural language and text strings rather than math as the main building blocks for learning about program structureRewrites code comprehension exercises in equivalent code with inclusive and approachable variables rather than terse, single-letter variablesChallenges readers to write a full program in each chapterPresents a selection of projects at the end of the book that integrates the concepts introduced in previous chapters

Mathematical Logic through Python
Using a unique pedagogical approach, this text introduces mathematical logic by guiding students in implementing the underlying logical concepts and mathematical proofs via Python programming. This approach, tailored to the unique intuitions and strengths of the ever-growing population of programming-savvy students, brings mathematical logic into the comfort zone of these students and provides clarity that can only be achieved by a deep hands-on understanding and the satisfaction of having created working code. While the approach is unique, the text follows the same set of topics typically covered in a one-semester undergraduate course, including propositional logic and first-order predicate logic, culminating in a proof of Gödel's completeness theorem. A sneak peek to Gödel's incompleteness theorem is also provided. The textbook is accompanied by an extensive collection of programming tasks, code skeletons, and unit tests. Familiarity with proofs and basic proficiency in Python is assumed.

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.
