Learning Python: A course in 16 lessons for GCSE - Paperback

by Tony Hawken (Author)

This is an introductory text book that teaches Python programming. It is intended mainly for GCSE and IGCSE Computer Science students. It is a very practical book and assumes that the student knows little. The book starts by looking at the Python programming environment, then entering commands at the command prompt. Later on short programs, followed by longer programs. By the time the last chapter has been reached longer programs suitable for coursework are discussed. If used as a text book to learn programming, it is suggested that one lesson (chapter) from the book is studied each week. That way a student can learn Python in 4 months.
