This Complete Training Course includes the Python How to Program text and the Multimedia Cyber Classroom, an electronic version of the text that provides additional hands-on experience ands study aids for a minimal extra cost. It includes many hours of detailed expert audio descriptions of "live code", practice exams with short answer questions and answers, hundreds of self-review questions drawn from the text (all with answers), hundreds of programming exercises drawn from the text (half with answers; the main text does not have answers to those problems), and full-text searching and hyperlinking.
