Description
Book SynopsisExplore the world of programming languages through Python and learn the building blocks of writing programs. This book covers Python 3.10, explaining it through six key concepts. Each chapter contains a real-world example with practical advice and a section on advanced concepts.
You''ll start by reviewing the concept of expressions and functions, which are two of the core building blocks of programming languages. You''ll then move on to object-oriented concepts to help gain a practical understanding of Python, along with a chapter on control flow constructs. The book also takes a close look at sequences, explaining constructs and additional types, and wraps up with a chapter on modules, focusing on how to use and create packages.
Whether you''re new to programming or already an experienced developer, upon finishing this book, you will have a solid understanding of Python''s state-of-the-art development features.
