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.
? Index of Python Enhancement Proposals
? The Python 2 Tutorial
? The Python 3.4 Tutorial
? Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional
? How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python, 2nd Edition (Using Python 2.x)
This e-book is no advertising and best for reading on any mobile platform. If you have bought this e-book, thanks for your donating and let me continue to write new tutorials for beginners of programming. Thank you very much.
*** Update Information ****
In addition to change the cover of the e-book, I have also revised grammar and spelling errors of the e-book.
