Start solving problems and creating programs with Python

It's not just friendly and easy: it's the first Python beginner's guide that puts you in control of your own learning, and empowers you to build unique programs to solve problems you care about.

Microsoft has completely reinvented the beginning programmer's tutorial, reflecting deep research into how today's beginners learn, and why other books fall short. Begin to Code with Python is packed with innovations, including its 'Snaps' library of pre-built operations that are easy to combine your own unique programs, Cookie Cutter templates that give you a flying start, and 'Make Something Happen' projects that help you build skills by creating your own programs, not programs someone else has handed you.

Throughout, Begin to Code with Python balances playful exposition and illustration of programming fundamentals with your own creative input - and you'll never be more than a page or two away from making something unique and personal to you.
