Python for Everyone, 1st Edition is a comprehensive introduction to Python and computer programming, which focuses on the principles of programming, software engineering, and effective learning. It is designed for a one-semester, mixed-major, first course in programming.

Nobody supports your desire to teach students good programming skills like Cay Horstmann and Rance Necaise. Active in both the classroom and the software industry, Horstmann and Necaise know that meticulous coding—not shortcuts—is the base upon which great programmers are made. Using an innovative visual design that leads students step-by-step through intricacies of Python programming, Python For Everyone, 1st Edition instills confidence in beginning programmers and confidence leads to success.

Practice makes perfect.
Of course, programming students need to be able to implement nontrivial programs, but they first need to have the confidence that they can succeed. This book contains a substantial number of self-check questions at the end of each section. “Practice It” pointers suggest exercises to try after each section. A bank of quiz and test questions covering computer science concepts and programming skills is available to instructors.

No prior programming experience is required, and only a modest amount of high school algebra is needed. For pedagogical reasons, the book uses Python 3, which is more regular than Python 2.
