I chose to provide this abridged book in order to create a much more condensed version that focuses on a faster, easier, and more practical approach. Please enjoy this work, as it is the most popular computer programming book for 2021 and beyond.

In The Ultimate Python Programming Guide for Beginners, you will learn all the essential tools to become proficient in the Python programming language. Learn how to install Python in all major operating systems - Windows, Mac OS, and even Linux. You will be guided step-by-step, from downloading the necessary files to making adjustments in the installation for your particular operating system. Learn the command line shell and how to use it to run Python in interactive and script modes. Discover how the Python interpreter functions and learn how to use the interactive command line shell through practical examples you can try on your own.

Learn data types and variables in-depth, with example code and discussion of the generated output. Numbers are covered in detail, including a discussion of the four number types in Python: integer, float, complex, and Boolean. Learn about Truthy and Falsy returns, and how they relate to the Boolean type. Practice with some of the many built-in Python math functions, and discover the difference between format() and round() functions.

Great start!

This book gives a basic foundation of Python Programming. The subject matter is obviously not the easiest but this book makes it easy! There are some chapters with more complicated concept that I had to revisit, but over all it's a very helpful guide!

Good book

This is a good book for beginners, if you’re looking for something more advance this is not recommended, has basic and extensive information, be prepared with lots of time and sometimes narrative is slow.

Programming can be daunting because you have to be versatile and learn a number of languages. However, this book has a quality breakdown of Python and it's delivered spectacularly. This book will be a great addition to any programmer's collection. Do not hesitate! Learn Python now!

A new way to think about coding

This is something totally different from anything I have ever tried! I’ve been wanting to get into coding, and I thought it would be interesting to try the audio version of this book since I’m getting better at JavaScript and want to see what other languages are like.

This explains everything in-depth. If this is your first introduction to coding, you might struggle with it, because a lot of coding depends upon visual scanning of your code to ensure that everything is lined up and closed up.

However, if you are visually impaired, this is your place to start!! This audiobook functions as a way of listening to a detailed explanation of how to start coding in Python. It’s better than using a screen-reader, since a lot of coding sites use images to show lines of code. I’m a really visual person, but this is great for people who can remember everything they hear.

This is a perfect book for everyone!

I gave this book a shot. I must say that this is a great book that gives solid foundations on Python. At first, it teaches you the basics but also covers some useful details of the language. There are a lot of different things that you are going to be able to do when you decide to work with the python coding language. And this book is a great guide for beginners.

No idea what I was doing, until now!

I'm so glad I was able to find this book in audio format! I don't have much time for paperback books, so this really allowed me to succeed in coding! Thanks for this, I recommend it highly!
