Learn to Code by Solving Problems
Learn to Code by Solving Problems is a practical introduction to programming using Python. It uses coding-competition challenges to teach you the mechanics of coding and how to think like a savvy programmer. Computers are capable of solving almost any problem when given the right instructions. That’s where programming comes in. This beginner’s book will have you writing Python programs right away. You’ll solve interesting problems drawn from real coding competitions and build your programming skills as you go. Every chapter presents problems from coding challenge websites, where online judges test your solutions and provide targeted feedback. As you practice using core Python features, functions, and techniques, you’ll develop a clear understanding of data structures, algorithms, and other programming basics. Bonus exercises invite you to explore new concepts on your own, and multiple-choice questions encourage you to think about how each piece of code works. You’ll learn how to: Run Python code, work with strings, and use variables Write programs that make decisions Make code more efficient with while and for loops Use Python sets, lists, and dictionaries to organize, sort, and search data Design programs using functions and top-down design Create complete-search algorithms and use Big O notation to design more efficient code By the end of the book, you’ll not only be proficient in Python, but you’ll also understand how to think through problems and tackle them with code. Programming languages come and go, but this book gives you the lasting foundation you need to start thinking like a programmer.
The Programming Primer
"No computer user should be in the dark about programming - and with this primer you won't be anymore. Written for non-programmers who are put off by the perceived mysteries of programming, this book offers a clear, easy-to-understand introduction that explains how to program and how programs work, beginning with basic programming concepts." "Find out how traditional languages are structured, including C, BASIC, and PASCAL, and how they apply to non-traditional languages, such as program macros. Learn basic language concepts in plain English, not computer jargon. Delve into the latest topics, such as object-oriented programming, programming tools, program design techniques, and computer-aided software engineering. Learn programming techniques for graphical user interfaces such as Windows and OS/2. Gain insight into modularizing a program, controlling the flow of a program, and pulling it all together into a complete application. Read up on all the buzz words that you need to know to begin programming. Look up common terms and concepts in a handy appendix." "With this primer in hand, you'll know exactly what's going on when it comes to programming languages. From The Programming Primer, you can go on to a full tutorial in any language, confident of having a foundation for success."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
