This is an introductory text book that teaches Python programming. It is intended mainly for GCSE and IGCSE Computer Science students. It is a very practical book and assumes that the student knows little. The book starts by looking at the Python programming environment, then entering commands at the command prompt. Later on short programs, followed by longer programs. By the time the last chapter has been reached longer programs suitable for coursework are discussed. If used as a text book to learn programming, it is suggested that one lesson (chapter) from the book is studied each week. That way a student can learn Python in 4 months.

A refreshingly different and engaging way of learning how to program using Python. This book includes example code and brief user-friendly explanations, along with 150 progressively trickier challenges. As readers are actively involved in their learning, they quickly master the new skills and gain confidence in creating their own programs.

Learn to program fast in 155 challenges, 54 examples and 85 pages This book is a 'gamified' approach to Python, aimed at supporting GCSE and KS3 students, with complete coverage of the GCSE programming requirements. There's no substitute for practice when it comes to learning a new skill! Python syntax is simple to learn, but becoming an expert in writing programs to solve different kinds of problems takes a bit longer. That's why this book has a short explanation of each new statement or technique, followed by one or more examples and then loads of practice challenges. Some of the challenges will take you only a minute or two, using the Python Interactive window to try out new statements and get immediate results. As you get further into the book, you will be challenged to write programs to perform different kinds of tasks - for example to find the results of a calculation, write a program for a simplified cash machine, sort a list of items into alphabetical order, or to record data in a text file to be read, formatted, and printed. The programming solutions to some challenges have been helpfully simplified for an inexperienced programmer to modify rather than to write from scratch. This builds your confidence in problem-solving. That's why 35 challenges consist of partially written programs for you to complete.
