Programming with Python with MindTap Book by Cengage

Ideal for anyone who has never programmed, McMullen/Matthews/Parsons' PROGRAMMING WITH PYTHON uses a beginner's approach that combines conceptual content with rich examples and hands-on learning activities. Straightforward and student friendly, it emphasizes fundamental computer concepts from a Python programming perspective using a clear presentation with little technical jargon. Modules introduce important computer science concepts, procedural programming and object-oriented programming in short segments, while real-world examples, streamlined code and descriptive figures help you better understand today's computing concepts. As you strengthen your computer science knowledge, you will also sharpen critical-thinking and problem-solving skills -- and build confidence.
