Minimal Python (The book + Code Samples IPython Notebooks)
Minimal Python
About the Book
If you are reading this book you may be interested in programming for the first time. Maybe it isn't your first time trying to learn to program either? This book is very different than other books that claim to teach you programming. It eliminates a large part of Python that you simply don't need.
Even books that have "learn" in the title introduce readers to hopelessly complex topics like object-oriented programming or concurrency. It turns out YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It). Why teach students topics they won't use either ever, or not for a few years?
Don't worry if you failed before, you may have read a book written by an expert for an expert. Let's fix that and teach you just what you need to get started in a career in Data Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering or Cloud Computing.
