book's title says what it is
This is a good first book on
programming
for a junior high school kid or a motivated elementary school kid.
If you are a programmer looking to learn the
Python
language, this book is not for you. It's not intended to be for you, and you will find it slow-paced and tedious. Instead, as its title says, it's for people who want to learn to program, and Python is the weapon of choice for this author. I'm a long-time professional software guy, and I bought this book as a possible tutorial for my kids. It is pretty amazingly good for that. The sample programs are realistic enough. They're also short enough that someone can type them in as they go along. The author takes the reader all the way from "no experience required" all the way through OOP. Each step is gentle and encouraging. Along the way, the author points out what is a requirement and what is just convention. Computer jargon is explained in comfortable terms for the

Phyton Programming Second edition
Service from Amazon dot com is excellent. The book was received in good order. The content of the book fulfilled my expectations. I had no direction in any
programming
language. This book is
absolute
for
beginner
s and I have some kind of direction to plan and expand my programming knowledge with
Python
.
The Perfect Place To Start
This book is perfect for the
beginner
programmer. Whether you have prior experience or not, you will come away with useful information and valuable experience. I have read it through once, and am now going back through and working on the sample code you develop. I have never had so much fun, nor have I ever found a book that did a better job of being informative but not too much. He works you from Hello World to a simple but graphic game, teaching you

convention and how to apply what you have learned to several types of situations. I cannot say how much I love this book, or how great it has been to finally find an author who can get the job done. Five stars, only because that's the highest I can give!
