Author Description

Python for Everyone, 3e is an introduction to programming designed to serve a wide range of student interests and abilities, focused on the essentials, and on effective learning. It is suitable for a first course in programming for computer scientists, engineers, and students in other disciplines. The interactive eText requires no prior programming experience and only a modest amount of high school algebra. Objects are used where appropriate in early chapters and students start designing and implementing their own classes in Chapter 9. Practice makes perfect, so each section contains numerous exercises that ask students to carry out progressively more complex tasks: trace code and understand its effects, produce program snippets from prepared parts, and complete simple programs. All eText sections include activities to help students practice programming and build confidence. The interactive practice and review is complemented by open-ended review exercises, programming exercises, and projects. For the first time, instructors can monitor student progress in VitalSource SCORECenter and export grades to their learning management system. The Enhanced E-Text is also available bundled with an abridged print companion and can be ordered by contacting customer service here: ISBN: 9781119580928 Price: $55.95
