Ted Herman

A Functional Start to Computing with Python

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Taking a student-friendly, interactive approach to teach computing, this text enables students to quickly learn computing without having to use loops, variables, and object abstractions at the start. Requiring no prior programming experience, the book draws on Python's flexible data types and operations as well as its capacity for defining new functions. Along with the specifics of Python, the author covers important concepts of computing. A companion website provides many supplementary materials.
