Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Think Python attempts to give an introduction to basic concepts in computer science through the
|
|
use of the python language. The focus was to create a book with plenty of exercises, minimal jargon and
|
|
a section in each chapter devoted to the subject of debugging.
|
|
|
|
While exploring the various features available in the python language the author weaves in various design
|
|
patterns and best practices.
|
|
|
|
The book also includes several case studies which have the reader explore the topics discussed in the book
|
|
in greater detail by applying those topics to real-world examples. Case studies include assignments in GUI
|
|
and Markov Analysis.

Python Koans
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Python Koans is a port of Edgecase's Ruby Koans. It uses a test-driven approach, q.v. TEST DRIVEN DESIGN SECTION
|
|
to provide an interactive
|
|
tutorial teaching basic python concepts. By fixing assertion statements that fail in a test script, this
|
|
provides sequential steps to learning python.
|
|
|
|
For those used to languages and figuring out puzzles on their own, this can be a fun, attractive option.
|
|
For those new to python and programming, having an additional resource or reference will be helpful.
