Book Description

Make the Leap From Beginner to Intermediate in Python…
Python Basics: A Practical Introduction to Python 3
Your Complete Python Curriculum—With Exercises, Interactive Quizzes, and Sample Projects

What should you learn about Python in the beginning to get a strong foundation? With Python Basics, you’ll not only cover the core concepts you really need to know, but you’ll also learn them in the most efficient order with the help of practical exercises and interactive quizzes. You’ll know enough to be dangerous with Python, fast!

Who Should Read This Book

• If you’re new to Python, you’ll get a practical, step-by-step roadmap on developing your foundational skills. You’ll be introduced to each concept and language feature in a logical order. Every step in this curriculum is explained and illustrated with short, clear code samples. Our goal with this book is to educate, not to impress or intimidate.
• If you’re familiar with some basic programming concepts, you’ll get a clear and well-tested introduction to Python. This is a practical introduction to Python that jumps right into the meat and potatoes without sacrificing substance. If you have prior experience with languages like VBA, PowerShell, R, Perl, C, C++, C#, Java, or Swift the numerous exercises within each chapter will fast-track your progress.
• If you’re a seasoned developer, you’ll get a Python 3 crash course that brings you up to speed with modern Python programming. Mix and match the chapters that interest you the most and use the interactive quizzes and review exercises to check your learning progress as you go along.
• If you’re a self-starter completely new to coding, you’ll get practical and motivating examples. You’ll begin by installing Python and setting up a coding environment on your computer from scratch, and then continue from there. We’ll get you coding right away so that you become competent and knowledgeable enough to solve real-world problems, fast. Develop a passion for programming by solving interesting problems with Python every day!
• If you’re looking to break into a coding or data-science career, you’ll pick up the practical foundations with this book. We won’t just dump a boat load of theoretical information on you so you can “sink or swim”—instead you’ll learn from hands-on, practical examples one step at a time. Each concept is broken down for you so you’ll always know what you can do with it in practical terms.
• If you’re interested in teaching others “how to Python,” this will be your guidebook. If you’re looking to stoke the coding flame in your coworkers, kids, or relatives—use our material to teach them. All the sequencing has been done for you so you’ll always know what to cover next and how to explain it.

What Python Developers Say About The Book:

“Go forth and learn this amazing language using this great book.” — Michael Kennedy, Talk Python

“The wording is casual, easy to understand, and makes the information flow well.” — Thomas Wong, Pythonista

“I floundered for a long time trying to teach myself. I slogged through dozens of incomplete online tutorials. I snoozed through hours of boring screencasts. I gave up on countless crufty books from big-time publishers. And then I found Real Python. The easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions break the big concepts down into bite-sized chunks written in plain English. The authors never forget their audience and are consistently thorough and detailed in their explanations. I’m up and running now, but I constantly refer to the material for guidance.” — Jared Nielsen, Pythonista

Python基础：对Python3的实用介绍
完整的Python课程-包括练习、互动测验和样例项目

为了打下坚实的基础，您应该从一开始就了解哪些关于Python的知识？ With Python Basics，你将不仅涵盖你真正需要知道的核心概念，而且你还将通过实践练习和互动测验以最有效的顺序学习它们。你很快就会知道使用Python是很危险的！

谁应该读这本书

• 如果您是第一次接触Python，你将得到一个实用的、循序渐进的路线图，来发展你的基础技能。我们将按逻辑顺序向您介绍每个概念和语言功能。本课程中的每个步骤都用简短、清晰的代码示例进行了说明和说明。我们写这本书的目的是教育，而不是给人留下深刻印象或恐吓。
• If you’re familiar with some basic programming concepts,“您将对Python有一个清晰且经过充分测试的介绍。这是对Python的一个实用介绍，它直接跳到肉和土豆中，而不牺牲实质。如果您以前有VBA、PowerShell、R、Perl、C、C++、C#、Java或SWIFT等语言的经验，每章中的大量练习将快速跟踪您的进度。
• 如果您是一位经验丰富的开发人员，您将获得一个Python3速成课程，带您熟悉现代的Python编程。混合搭配你最感兴趣的章节，并使用互动测验和复习练习来检查你的学习进度。
• 如果您是一个完全不熟悉编程的自我启动者，你会得到一些实用的、鼓舞人心的例子。您将首先在您的计算机上从头开始安装Python并设置编码环境，然后从那里继续。我们将立即为您编写代码，这样您就有能力和足够的知识来快速解决现实世界中的问题。通过每天使用Python解决有趣的问题来培养对编程的热情！
• 如果你想打入编码或数据科学的职业生涯，你会从这本书中学到实用的基础。我们不会仅仅向你倾倒一船的理论信息，这样你就可以“成败在此一举”–相反，你将一步一个脚印地从实际操作的例子中学习。每一个概念都为你分解了，所以你总是知道你可以用它来做什么。
• 如果你有兴趣教别人“如何使用巨蟒”，这将是你们的旅游指南。如果你想在你的同事、孩子或亲戚身上点燃编码的火焰–使用我们的材料来教他们。所有的顺序都已经为你完成了，所以你总是知道接下来要涵盖什么以及如何解释它。

Python开发人员对这本书的评价：

“走出去，用这本伟大的书学习这门神奇的语言吧。”迈克尔·肯尼迪，对话巨蟒

“措辞随意，通俗易懂，信息流畅。”托马斯·王，毕索尼斯主义者

“我苦苦挣扎了很长一段时间，试图自学。我辛苦地阅读了几十个不完整的在线教程。我在无聊的几个小时的屏幕录像中打瞌睡。我放弃了来自一流出版商的无数恶毒书籍。然后我发现了真正的巨蟒。这些易于遵循的循序渐进的说明将大的概念分解成用简单的英语写成的小块。作者永远不会忘记他们的观众，在他们的解释中始终是透彻和详细的。我现在已经开始运行了，但我经常参考这些材料来获得指导。 — Jared Nielsen, Pythonista
