Beginner's Programming Guide with Python V3.40I

Python is an object-oriented programming. Its important philosophy is summarized by PEP 20. Like


  ◎ Beautiful is better than ugly.

  ◎ Explicit is better than implicit.

  ◎ Simple is better than complex.

  ◎ Complex is better than complicated.

  ◎ And so on....


The most important philosophy is "simple". So


  ◎ Keep it simple.


When you write a Python program, the only thing you should keep in mind is the above sentence. But what is the meaning of "simple"? It is a good question, right? Simply speaking, the simple is a style and a thinking. That is to say, you should uses a direct, obvious and effective way to design a software using Python in any case.


This e-book will take you to learn programming with Python. Just like the cover's image, I want to take you to go up the stairs step by step and you also learn programming with Python by this way, step by step. I think you should slow down and experience what you should know about programming.


There are three parts of this e-book.


  ◎ Part One - Basics

  ◎ Part Two - Software Development

  ◎ Part Three - GUI


Part One brings together all the basic skills about Python you need to know. Part Two introduces the basic knowledge about software development. Part Three designs a graphical user interface using Tk of the standard library.


The purpose of this e-book is an introduction about programming with Python. You may need two or three months to study this e-book.


The main reference of this e-book are the following web pages and books.
