An Introduction to Programming and Computer Science with Python

Abstract

This book serves as a gateway to understanding the core principles of computer science and programming through Python, an increasingly popular and accessible programming language. The content is structured progressively, beginning with introductory concepts and gradually transitioning into more complex topics. The initial chapters gently acclimate readers to Python's syntax and semantics, laying a solid foundation for practical programming tasks. As the journey unfolds, the reader is exposed to essential computer science principles such as algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques. The latter sections delve deeper into specialized subjects, including object-oriented programming, web development basics, and data analysis, all structured in a way that fosters solid comprehension and skill acquisition.
