Python Programming Fundamentals- A Beginner’s Handbook

This book has been written with two categories of readers in mind. This book can be manual for those who would want to excel in Python programming as well as for those who are new to Python programming and would want to learn. I hope that you will find what follows both instructive and at times entertaining too. The book is designed for programmers who already have some experience of using a modern high level procedural programming language like C/ C++. The book concentrates on the things that are essential to understand Python programming. Those who already know C will find the contents and example code snippets a bit interested. The syntax and coding constructs of Python programming paradigm is nearer to C but not exact. From my point of view, what matters for a programmer is “Logic” and “Syntax”. It has been inevitable for programmers to learn and practice emerging programming paradigms. This is the first edition of the textbook hence a lot of brainstorming was required in order to properly structure each and every chapter. Appendix A addresses exercise questions of “Python for Everybody” by Charles R Severance. Appendix B is about Python solution to few commonly found programming problems. All the programs presented in the textbook are tested using PyCharm IDE. I hope the book meets the requirements of student fraternity and remains reachable throughout its multiple entry of editions. Also, PyCharm IDE installation guidelines included in the textbook.
