About this product

Python Crash Course is an amazingly in-depth yet quick guide to programming with Python, and it will prepare you to solve problems and make things work by actually writing code and developing your own programs.

The first part of this book teaches you to program using basic programming concepts, such as lists, dictionaries, classes, and loops. It provides exercises for each topic so that you can practice writing clear and readable code. You will also learn how to make your programs interactive and safely test the code before adding it to the project. The real magic happens in the second part of the book, where you've got the task to build your project. You will be using a package in python to build your own Alien Invasion Game! How does that sound as your first project?


As you work through Python Crash Course, you'll learn how to:
1. Use powerful Python libraries and tools, including matplotlib, NumPy, and Pygal
2. Make 2D games that respond to keypresses and mouse clicks, and that grow more difficult as the game progresses
3. Work with data to generate interactive visualizations
4. Create and customize simple web apps and deploy them safely online 5. Deal with mistakes and errors so you can solve your own programming problems

If you've been thinking about taking a serious dive into programming, this is the book that will bring you up to speed and have you writing real programs in no time. Why wait? Fire up those engines and code!
