About this title

Synopsis:

HIGHLIGHT

A fast-paced, hands-on tutorial that both teaches and entertains beginners as

they learn Python 3 while building several complete applications.

DESCRIPTION

Python 3 is an open-source programming language that can be used to develop

any application imaginable―business, games, web, and more.

We think it should be just as much fun to learn Python as it is to use it. And we

know that fun learning gets better results. Hello! Python is a fast-paced, entertaining

introduction to Python, for readers new to Python and programming. In

this book, User Friendly cartoon characters offer commentary and snide side

comments, as the book moves quickly from “hello world” into practical techniques.

Each one is illustrated with a hands-on example. Along the way, readers

will learn to build several simple Python applications including a multi-user

adventure game and an MP3 player.

KEY POINTS

• Demonstrates complete applications over the course of the book

• Entertaining style with User Friendly graphics

• Emphasizes Python’s large standard library of tools and code to

give programmers a head start on larger programs
