Starting Out with Python® introduces programming concepts and problem-solving skills using Tony Gaddis' accessible approach. Written for novice programmers, Gaddis uses easy-to-understand language to introduce concepts. Control structures are explained, then classes and GUI applications. Every chapter includes clear and easy-to-read code listings, practical real-world examples, focused explanations and an abundance of exercises. As you progress through the text, you'll learn to recognize how to design the logic of high-quality programs and then implement those programs using Python.
The 6th Edition is thoroughly updated with new language features and functionality for versions of Python up through Python 3.9.
