Gaddis T. Starting Out with Python 6ed 2023

Textbook in PDF format

Starting Out with Python introduces programming concepts and problem-solving skills using Tony Gaddis' accessible approach. Written for novice programmers, Gaddis uses easy-to-understand language to introduce concepts. Control structures are explained, then classes and GUI applications. Every chapter includes clear and easy-to-read code listings, practical real-world examples, focused explanations and an abundance of exercises. As you progress through the text, you'll learn to recognize how to design the logic of high-quality programs and then implement those programs using Python. The 6th. Edition is thoroughly updated with new language features and functionality for versions of Python up through Python 3.9.
Python is a fully object-oriented programming language, but students do not have to understand object-oriented concepts to start programming in Python. This text first introduces the student to the fundamentals of data storage, input and output, control structures, functions, sequences and lists, file I/O, and objects that are created from standard library classes. Then the student learns to write classes, explores the topics of inheritance and polymorphism, and learns to write recursive functions. Finally, the student learns to develop simple event-driven GUI applications
