Python from Scratch is the perfect starting point for anyone new to programming who wants to learn independently. It's also an excellent textbook for introductory computer programming courses where students need to master both fundamental programming techniques and the Python language.
What You'll Learn:
This comprehensive guide covers all essential programming concepts with clear examples and practical exercises:
- Core Programming Fundamentals: expressions, variables, loops, conditional statements
- Data Structures: lists, dictionaries, sets
- Advanced Topics: functions, file handling, classes, objects
- Database Integration: SQL database programming with SQLite 3
- Text Processing: regular expressions
- GUI Development: graphical interfaces with tkinter
Why This Book Works:
Mathematical concepts are explained alongside programming knowledge, making exercises more accessible for beginners. While emphasizing clear, simple examples to build a solid foundation, the book also introduces advanced computing features for readers seeking additional challenges.
Although focused on Python 3.13 or higher, this book prioritizes teaching programming principles and logic, providing a broad foundation that serves readers regardless of their chosen language. Programming concepts are introduced gradually through simpler examples, with more sophisticated Python features demonstrated as you progress.
Additional Resources:
The accompanying website provides instructional videos, solved problems, and frequently asked questions. All software used in the book is available for free download.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
