Book Description
Books on programming are usually verbose. This book is a non-traditional approach to learning Python efficiently. In this book, the authors have struck a balance between verbosity and pace of learning. The layout is used to summarize the important features of the language using self-explanatory examples, while keeping descriptions to a minimum.
The book contains material refined through years of teaching and research experiences, and feedback received from numerous students. It offers a quick start to learning the Python programming language. Readers who have prior programming knowledge but are new to Python will find the book easy to read. Experienced programmers will find the book useful in preparing for interviews by reviewing the material and included exercises.
