Synopsis:

For courses in Java programming.

A layered, back-to-basics approach to Python programming

The authors of the long successful title, Building Java Programs, bring their proven and class-tested, back-to-basics strategy to teaching Python programming for the first time in Building Python Programs. Their signature layered approach introduces programming fundamentals first, with new syntax and concepts added over multiple chapters. Object-oriented programming is discussed only after students have developed a basic understanding of Python programming. This newly published textfocuses on problem solving with an emphasis on algorithmic thinking and is appropriate for the two-semester sequence in introductory computer science.
