There is a myth that to be able to write code you must sit in a dark room, face illuminated by cascading green text, while you hammer away at your keyboard writing hieroglyphics. This is not true. “Python: An Introduction to Code” is a book that I have written to explain the basic concepts of programming and how to write code using the Python programming language. You don’t need to have ever written code before, or even understand what programming is, to read this book. This book goes through all the basics of programming in Python, such as installing Python, variables, control flow, functions, object orientated programming, data structures and more. There are plenty of small exercises and code snippets throughout this book which will get you reading and writing code. You’ll start at the very basics and by the end you’ll be able to create larger projects with full Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). There are also bigger activities, such as creating a to-do list application, a simple user login system, and more. These will have full step to step processes and code examples to explain how to create them from scratch. At the end of the book I explain some theoretical concepts regarding the Python programming language and computer science in general. This includes the difference between compilers and interpreters, how programming languages are created and executed, data structures, how Python stores, manages, and deletes variables in memory, and more. I chose to write a book about Python as it is an relatively easy language to pick up and learn for new programmers. There is no big up-front cost to learning it, you don’t need to learn a bunch of stuff before you can write a simple “Hello World” program. You can start programming straight away and then build up your knowledge of programming as you go. Buying this resource (on TES) will include a digital version of the book in a .pdf format. However, it is also available on Amazon in both eBook and paperback (linked below). Disclaimer The digital version (pdf or ebook) of this book is in full colour (unless reading on a b/w kindle). However, the physical paperback copy is in black and white. This was done to keep the price down (Amazon charge a lot for colour printing). This should not impact the experience of the book. There is a small amount that talks about colour (e.g. changing the background or text colour of widgets in a GUI), but it is not important to actually see the colours. Get it on Amazon There is a kindle/ebook format as well as a physical paper copy available on amazon. You should be able to find it by just searching for: “python introduction to code Adam Roynon” (TES doesn’t allow posting of third party links in description)
