Hello! Python

Hello! Python fully covers the building blocks of Python
programming and gives you a gentle introduction to more advanced topics
such as object-oriented programming, functional programming, network
programming, and program design. New (or nearly new) programmers will
learn most of what they need to know to start using Python immediately.

Programmers love Python because it’s fast and efficient. Shouldn’t learning Python be just the same? Hello! Python
starts quickly and simply, with a line of Python code. You’ll learn the
basics the right way—by writing your own programs. Along the way,
you’ll get a gentle introduction to more advanced concepts and new
programming styles.

No experience with Python needed. Exposure to another programming language is helpful but not required.

What’s Makes Hello! Python special

  before, you’ll be writing real Python apps in just an hour or two.
