Synopsis

Python is one of the most widely used computer languages in the world.  It’s popularity is growing steadily every day.  There are many courses you can take to learn Python.  However, there is no book out there that has become the “Bible” for students who are completely new to the world of software development, to learn how to program in Python.  The author has searched without success for such a book.  The author has taken his personally developed, highly successful curriculum, which he has taught in a number of Silicon Valley colleges, and turned it into this book.
