Description: About this productProduct InformationLooking for a reliable way to learn how to program on your own, without being overwhelmed by confusing concepts? Head First Programming introduces the core concepts of writing computer programs -- variables, decisions, loops, functions, and objects -- which apply regardless of the programming language. This book offers concrete examples and exercises in the dynamic and versatile Python language to demonstrate and reinforce these concepts. Learn the basic tools to start writing the programs that interest you, and get a better understanding of what software can (and cannot) do. When you're finished, you'll have the necessary foundation to learn any programming language or tackle any software project you choose. With a focus on programming concepts, this book teaches you how to: Understand the core features of all programming languages, including: variables, statements, decisions, loops, expressions, and operators Reuse code with functions Use library code to save time and effort Select the best data structure to manage complex data Write programs that talk to the Web Share your data with other programs Write programs that test themselves and help you avoid embarrassing coding errors We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First Programming uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.Product IdentifiersPublisherO'reilly, IncorporatedISBN-100596802374ISBN-139780596802370eBay Product ID (ePID)74195384Product Key FeaturesAuthorPaul Barry, David GriffithsPublication NameHead FIRST Programming : a Learner's Guide to Programming Using the Python LanguageFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishPublication Year2009TypeTextbookNumber of Pages442 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.2in.Item Height1in.Item Width8in.Item Weight23.7 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberQa76.6Table of ContentAdvance Praise for Head First Programming Praise for other Head First books Authors of Head First Programming How to Use This Book: Intro Chapter 1: Starting to Code: Finding your way Chapter 2: Textual Data: Every string has its place Chapter 3: Functions: Let's get organized Chapter 4: Data in Files and Arrays: Sort it out Chapter 5: Hashes and Databases: Putting data in its place Chapter 6: Modular Programming: Keeping things straight Chapter 7: Building a Graphical User Interface: Going all gooey Chapter 8: Guis and Data: Data entry widgets Chapter 9: Exceptions and Message Boxes: Get the message?
