Getting Started with Python

Python was created as a language to make it easier for laymen to enter the world of programming. Its popularity and the related field of application have been steadily expanding, and according to most indicators it is now the most widely used programming language ever.

This guide introduces the reader to the language and gradually teaches them how to use Python to create ever-improving programs. The first part introduces the basics of the language, the second part teaches you how to create simple programs, the third part prepares you for creating larger applications, and the fourth part introduces you to the basic rules of creating more complex programs, using the example of creating a simple, yet non-trivial application. While developing the application, you will learn the principles of modern programming and learn how to put them into practice.

This book is different from the usual textbooks and courses: does not limit itself to explaining how to code a program in Python, but teaches the reader how to design and run programs independently. It is followed by the publication Python – Complete manual for version 3.10, which discusses the possibilities of the language in even greater depth.
