Perkovic's Introduction to Programming Using Python is more than just an introduction to programming. It is an inclusive introduction to Computer Science that takes the pedagogical approach of "the right tool for the job at the right moment," and focuses on application development. The approach is hands-on and problem-oriented, with practice problems and solutions appearing throughout the text. The text is imperative-first, but does not shy away from discussing objects early where appropriate. Discussions of user-defined classes and Object-Oriented Programming appear later in the text, when students have more background and concepts can be motivated. Chapters include an introduction to problem solving techniques and classical algorithms, problem-solving and programming and ways to apply core skills to application development.

Great book for anyone who need a quick start on Python.
The book got clear instructions. It is easy to follow. It beats the YouTube video tapes, too much talk and very slow speed.
After you got the compiler, doing the work is straight forward.

Some Computer Science departments provided this course as a requirement. I do not think Python got enough meat. A course in C++, Java, or C# will be more appropriate for the degree, not Python.

Ryan Carter

Fairly interesting book that covers a wide range of material

Reviewed in the United States on 28 December 2013

I definitely wouldn't recommend this book to someone interested in learning programming on their own, but it worked well enough for the class I took. The book is aimed towards beginners, but I hadn't used Python before, so I needed to learn the syntax as well as the different features for the language, which this book does well.

Great book, but expensive

Phillip Glau

Well written if expensive introduction to programming with Python

Reviewed in the United States on 12 January 2015

Excellent starter book for learning Python. I've got a decent background as a programmer. While some of it is a bit basic at the beginning, it covers all the bases needed to get up and running quickly.

In addition to the basics of Python, it covers some of the CS 101 type stuff like an intro to Object Oriented Programming and analysis of algorithms and run time. Covers recursion which is sometimes a hard topic to get started with, but does a good job of explaining it clearly and concisely.

Minus 1 star for price. Definitely try to find it used!! I managed to get a near flawless copy for 50 buck.
