Synopsis
Your way to the Python pro!
- Learn to program Python like the pros
- 3 detailed examples from the areas of game programming, data visualisation and app development.
- Completely updated to Python 3
Python Crash Course is a compact and thorough introduction that allows you to write Python programs that solve problems for you or allow you to complete tasks with your computer.
In the first half of the book, you will be introduced to basic programming concepts such as lists, dictionaries, classes, and loops. You will learn how to write clean and readable code with exercises on any topic. You'll also learn how to make your programs interactive and test your code before adding it to a project.
Then you will put your new knowledge into practice in three complex projects: a Space Invaders inspired arcade game, data visualization with Python's super-convenient libraries, and a simple web app that you can deploy online.
While working with the Python Crash Course, you will learn how to:
- Use powerful Python libraries and tools correctly - including matplotlib, NumPy and Pygal
- Program 2D games that respond to key presses and mouse clicks, and that become more difficult the further the game progresses.
- Work with data to generate interactive visualizations
- Create and customize web apps to securely deploy them online
- deal with errors that often occur during programming
This book will effectively help you learn Python and develop your own programs with it.
