Practice Of Computing Using Python, The, Global Edition Av William Punch, Richard Enbody

<p><em>For courses in Python Programming</em></p><p>Now in its 3rd <strong>Edition</strong>, <strong><em>Practice of Computing Using Python</em></strong> continues to introduce both majors and non-majors taking CS1 courses to computational thinking using Python, with a strong emphasis on problem solving through computer science. The authors have chosen Python for its simplicity, powerful built-in data structures, advanced control constructs, and practicality. The text is built from the ground up for Python programming, rather than having been translated from Java or C++.</p><p>Focusing on data manipulation and analysis as a theme, the text allows students to work on real problems using Internet-sourced or self-generated data sets that represent their own work and interests. The authors also emphasise program development and provide both majors and non-majors with a practical foundation in programming that will be useful in their respective fields.
