Hello! Python

**Summary**

_Hello! Python_ fully covers the building blocks of Python programming and

gives you a gentle introduction to more advanced topics such as object-

oriented programming, functional programming, network programming, and program

design. New (or nearly new) programmers will learn most of what they need to

know to start using Python immediately.

**About this Book** Programmers love Python because it's fast and efficient.

Shouldn't learning Python be just the same? Hello! Python starts quickly and

simply, with a line of Python code. You'll learn the basics the right way--by

writing your own programs. Along the way, you'll get a gentle introduction to

more advanced concepts and new programming styles. >

No experience with Python needed. Exposure to another programming language is

helpful but not required.

Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle

eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

**What Makes Hello! Python special**

**Learn Python fast** Even if you've never written a line of code before,

you'll be writing real Python apps in just an hour or two.

**Great examples** There's something new in every chapter, including games,

web programming with Django, databases, and more.

**User Friendly guides** Using lots of illustrations and a down-to-earth

writing style, this book invites you to explore Python along with half-a-dozen

traveling companions from the User Friendly cartoon strip.
